.Rick Steves' London 2008 (Rick Steves)
City Travel Guides > Books > Travel
by: Rick Steves, Gene Openshaw

November 28, 2007
We just returned from a trip to Europe which included London. Rick's book was a wonderful help to us in planning our sightseeing, learning the Underground, and being all around entertaining. I will certainly purchase other books by him that cover places I will visit. I only wish I had bought it earlier in the planning stages of the trip.

.Make the Most of Your Time on Earth (Rough Guide Reference)
City Travel Guides > Books > Travel
by: Rough Guides

October 01, 2007
We have both books, the 1000 Places to Go Before You Die and this book. This one is much better, because it focuses much more on experiences rather than shopping and staying at fancy hotels. The other book seems like half advertising. Sure, the experiences might not all be my cup of tea. I won't be doing any extreme sports, and I won't be partying now that I am a mom. However, there is something for everybody, the pictures are compelling and the descriptions are opinionated, evocative and short.

.Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon
City Travel Guides > Books > Travel
by: Michael P. Ghiglieri, Thomas M. Myers

May 25, 2001
I admit it. I cannot put down a good book about stupid people making bad decisions in a spectacular, and spectacularly dangerous, place. There are a lot of short stories in here about how things went really, really bad for people who were unprepared, stupid, didn't know what they were getting into, or were just pure unlucky.

I saw the book in Flagstaff the day before I started a week long raft trip through the canyon. I decided it was probably a bad idea to read it then. Once I got back however, I did read it and couldn't put it down. It was all the more real for having just been there and having gone through some of the extremes of temperature, rapids, etc. that the unfortunates detailed in the book went through. I was proud of the outfitters ... Read More:

.Costa Rica (Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Travel
by: Matt Firestone, Wendy Yanagihara

October 01, 2008
The lonely planet helped as as always to plan our vacation. We spend only one week in this interesting country, but managed to plan an interesting and packed two day trip. Instead of booking through the hotel and spending at least $250 per person we took all the information out of the book. Besides saving some money, we had a lot of information and explored the country a lot better than with a pre booked trip. As the book is from 2006 some of the prices have already increased. I can highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to plan his trip on his own and/or wants background information on history, culture and people.

Not his best work. He is getting a bit too left leaning but still funny at times.
