As usual the lonely planet West Africa is full of details, which enable a traveller to travel around West Africa, ranging from the best hotels in small towns to bus schedules. From the fertile coast to the sandy deserts it provides a good but brief overview of the nature, history and present sights. The only weak point is the limited amount of information on regional cultural differences or history, which is probably caused by the number of countries covered

and the best guide I've come across for India. Packed with detail and a reasonable cultural/ historical introduction. Maps are great, the timetables are pretty accurate, the opening times and prices are correct...

There are some very bad LP guides out there. Vietnam springs to mind. But LP India has been consistently good throughout the years. I think I've used 4 versions of the guidebook and have been pleased with the improvements everytime.

Obviously the negativities are that it is pretty big but how else are you supposed to cram in all that information.

Other than the Sudan chapter in Lonely Planet's Africa guide this is the only Sudan guidebook available. Lots of details on history, preparation, paperwork and the like, but it does miss out a lot of details (hotels, restaurants, car hire etc.) and gives pretty much no info on south Sudan.
Additionally a lot has changed since this book was researched (2004/2005) many more roads in the north are now paved, and prices have increased considerably (in hard currency terms). If you are heading to Sudan however it is still worth buying, but also look for information on the internet to fill in the gaps in this guide.

Books : Central Asia (Lonely Planet)
This was the most up-to-date (and indeed, pretty much the only) guidebook to the region that I could find. It's got all of the standard Lonely Planet features, and it is easy to find things and has a good balance of descriptive and factual information.

However, I found some of the opinions in it incomprehensible and would warn any reader to take them with a pinch of salt. One hotel described as being awful with tiny rooms turned out to be fantastic and one of the best places we stayed in. Likewise some of the sights are talked down inexplicably. There are also very few photographs.

In terms of size, it's certainly not as heavy as most multi-country guides, but is still far from pocket size. I managed to carry ... Read More:
