1.Lonely Planet : France by: Daniel Robinson, Stephen Fallon, Nicola Williams March 26, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
Always been a very big fan of Lonely Planet guides... they have helped me round India, Nepal, Pakistan, France, Italy and Ireland. As my old copy is pre-Euro I thought I'd get a new up to date copy. Wish I hadn't. I've been looking at the Paris section... we are taking our children and I was interested in Parc d'Asterix... no mention. Several pages on Disney. Lots of other destinations on our 'tick list' are missing. Nice photography as ever, and the usual clear concise style. I realise they cna't put everything in the guide but these are major omissions. Not recommended. Sorry Lonely Planet!

3.True Blue: The Story of the Oxford Boat Race Mutiny by: Daniel Topolski, Patrick Robinson November 09, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.88
It is not easy to explain to anyone what the big attraction of rowing is, and this book mostly succeeds (see also The Amateurs). The author's (or at least Topolski's) passion for the big race is communicated well, and the book is full of entertaining anecdotes about previous Boat Race legends. However, given that this claims to be a true story, the characters have an unsatisfying comic-book feel about them, and are barely recognisable from their real-life equivalents. The action is full of noticeable omissions in the interest of a nice straightforward story. There are heroic goodies and dastardly baddies, and the simmering anti-Americanism that is never far beneath the surface of much English journalism shines through. Read More:

5.Paris (Lonely Planet City Guides) by: Daniel Robinson, Tony Wheeler February 28, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
Took my fiance to Paris recently and bought this book for the trip. Have always been impressed when I've taken one of the Lonely Planet guides on my travels, and this book maintained the high standards that I've come to expect from them. Doesn't matter if you know a bit about where you are visiting or if you are completely clueless - everything you could need to know is in here. Well written, easy to use, full of useful information, and yet small enough to fit in a coat pocket. Highly recommend.

6.True Blue: The Oxford Boat Race Mutiny by: Daniel Topolski, Patrick Robinson 1990-02
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £15.00
This was an excellent book by the coach of the Oxford squad in the 1980s Daniel Topolski, they do say truth is strager than fiction, and this book shows its alot more interesting also. Its a very English moral tale: 'winning is best done by being part of a team and the quest for self glory is not a noble one'. It also quite nicely lays bare the bullying tactics and power play that the Americans are so adept at, fortunately they don't get to be the winners in this story.

7.Vietnam (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Joe Cummings, Daniel Robinson March 31, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
Anyone heading to Vietnam should consider buying this book- lonely planet always do the job when it comes to providing basic information. However, I found that while I used the maps non-stop and found the sections on local and national history interesting and informative, I only used the sections on food, accommodation and excursions as indicators of average prices. Sadly, the places in the book were often overrun (and therefore overpriced) as a consequence of inclusion, and better deals could ususlly be found independantly. Another problem with the book is that I found much of the information to be out of date- Vietnam is a country in transition to the extent that it would be difficult for any guidebook to keep up with it. Therefore while this ... Read More:

8.Cambodia (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Tony Wheeler, Nick Ray, Chris Taylor, Daniel Robinson 2000-04
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.14
The guide book is useful, interesting and really helps you make the most of your time in Cambodia. I wouldn't have seen half of the amazing places if I hadn't taken it with me. The information in it is accurate despite what the local taxi drivers may say!! Stand your ground!! There is no need to buy any extra guide books when you're there either - all of their information is included in this one. The only thing the book doesn't prepare you for is the random overpricing that has occurred, the variation from shop to shop is immense. Shop where the locals shop and you'll save a fortune.
