Let's Go Inc.

Let's Go Publications, 2007

Information you won't find elsewhere

+ Excellent resources
+ So far so good but I have yet to use in the field

There's a lot of details on the important things you need to know when traveling. Examples include: what documents you will need in each country, transportation options and their costs, important phone #'s and some detailed maps of the larger cities. It's a good book for people who already know ...
  
  











  



  
Time Out Shortlist Barcelona 2008 (Time Out Shortlist)1 review

Time Out, 2007

Merely a shorter version of the more useful book

The Shortlist series are merely a physically smaller, more concise, version of the incredibly useful and informative TimeOut series. It has many of the same references for lodging, bars/clubs, getting around and the like just in a more truncated package. I would not buy both, as most listings are ...

Lonely Planet, 2007

Great pocket guide!

This was my first purchase in the Lonely Planet Encounter Series but I loved it. It was perfect for the person who wants to the information, but doesn't need every detail and cumbersome hotel and restaurant recommendations.

Must Have!

+ Paris...here I come!
+ Our Paris 'Bible'

I thought this book was really helpful. The maps were great, just wish we had studied them a little more before we went! We had a great time in Paris and took the book with us everywhere we went. It helped us decide (before we went) which sights to see and which to leave out since our time in ...

Great little guide

+ THE Guide to take with you to Paris
+ great book if you are going to paris.

This guide is the right size (I carried it in my pocket) and gave me all the info that I needed for a great trip. I particularly loved the walking tours through the many "neighborhoods" outlined in Paris - and the guide gave me info on a lot of "off the beaten path" shops, stores, restaurants and ...

Frommer's Italy 2008 (Frommer's Complete)8 reviews
Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince

Frommers, 2007

Frommer's Italy 2008

Not a bad travel book, fairly complete, decent detail on many of the cities within the country, but the book does lack pictures, has a few in the front of the book. That would have made the book more complete and enjoyable. As the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words."
