An excellent general guide for a complex country
It's tough to pick the "best" guidebook for a particular destination, and the proliferation of free travel information on the web makes choosing "the one" even tougher. My wife and I always start with a copy of an EyeWitness guide for the destination: there are pictures on every page, and we find the images help us plan our trip: the guides are particularly good for architecture and art.

Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guide)
These guides are the very best in the business. If I'm thinking of going on a trip, I think again if there isn't an Eyewitness guide in print.
EGYPT is the same high calibre as all the others I've bought over the years.

This guidebook made making our way around Paris a piece of cake
We have just returned from Spring Break in Paris and the "Paris: Eyewitness Travel Guide" was our guidebook for our trip. Of course, the photo illustrations in any DK book are always impressive, and since I always like to see where I am going and what is to see there without having to Google everything, that was an obvious plus with this book. I must admit that II do not really think about ...

Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10709 reviews
Marcus Luttrell
Back Bay Books, 2008
A book about true heroism
I have read many books on or about the Navy Seals, some better than others. Quite often I don't finish the books as they are poorly written or just get plain boring. This is by far the best Seal book ever written. In fact I put this up with "Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills" as the top 2 books ever written about our soldiers.
Everything in this book was relevant. Many books on Seals stray ...

Everything you need in one book
A friend of mine recommended this book to me for our upcoming honeymoon to Italy. This book has been so helpful in planning every aspect of our honeymoon, from where to stay, to eat and to see. The street by street maps are going to be very useful when we get to Italy.

Rome (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)68 reviews

Very helpful, easy to read
Used this on a trip to Rome earlier this month and found the information very helpful and up to date. One aspect of this guide that I enjoyed was the division of Rome into neighborhoods. It was nice to see at a glance what was located in each neighborhood and plan my day accordingly. It also listed some lesser known streets around Campo di Fiori where furniture is restored and antique books are ...

Only wish I'd had more time
Yeah, doesn't everyone? There is so much in this book outside of Florence and I really wanted to make the trek into the Tuscan hills around the city, especially to Pisa and Siena. But alas, I was trapped in Florence...and what a prison it was! Everyone should find themselves thus abused at some point in their life, I believe.
This DK guide made the punishment a lot easier to endure, saving me ...

Top 10 Barcelona (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE)4 reviews

The perfect travel companion
I decided to check out the Top 10 guide for Barcelona given the excellent experience I had in London with a similar guide on a past trip to the UK. I noticed the same compelling points with this guide as I'd noticed with the London guide -- a concise list of things to do in city, a list of various neighborhoods, list of best cafes/bars and sample itineraries for spending an entire day in each ...

Great book.
It was my first time in China and I went to both cities. The book was very informative, complete, well illustrated, and easy to read. Everybody in my group kept asking me to read it. I got to see other people's books and they did not come close. I strongly recommend this book.

These books can't be beat and are top choices for destination-oriented travelers
NEW ZEALAND achieves the same for that country, packing all into a pocket-sized tote which is just easy enough to take along, yet compromises nothing in the amount of detail offered. From driving and walking tours to cultural insights, these books can't be beat and are top choices for destination-oriented travelers wanting visual excitement paired with practical facts.

My Heroes: The Olympic athletes
Not what I had in mind when placing the order for this book but, I find it fascinating and useful all the same. Can't wait for the next Olympics to start and will be glued to my TV for those 16 days. I am a fan of the whole Olympic Ideal and try to watch as much as I can. I am also a huge fan of "Chariots of Fire", about the 1924 Olympics and "1896: The First Modern Olympics", about how the U. ...
