131.The Rough Guide to Egypt (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by: Dan Richardson August 02, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.55 You Save: £5.44 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.98
Whenever I am going on holiday, one of the most exciting things for me is buying the rough guide before we go. On the rare occasion that I haven't done this i've felt I've gone into things blind and not taken the best choices in terms of trips etc. This rough guide did prove invaluable on our trip to Sharm el Sheik and a day trip to Cairo, however the one thing I would question, and I find this is generally the case with Rough Guides, is that the prices quoted for meals and, in this case especially, taxis is often way out. We travelled only a month after this book was published, so I would expect it to be much more up to date than it was. The info on Sharm was pretty basic for our needs (it focuses a lot on diving, ...

132.Seaside: Discover the Best of Britain's Best Beaches (Time Out Seaside: Discover Britain's Coastal Treasures) by: Time Out Guides Ltd April 03, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.19 You Save: £5.80 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.37
I'm a river, lake and waterfall swimmer really (see the new book on 'Wild Swimming' in the UK) but you can't beat a fantastic beach too. The authors have picked some of the most spectacular places, some well known, others more secret, and written about them in depth. The practical bits are useful, and the maps for each of the 35 place chapters are very helpful. The photos are totally stunning, beautifully printed on matt paper. Very nice. The coverage is a little limited but overall a very inspiring coffee-table guidebook.

134.Brazil (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Regis St. Louis January 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.89 You Save: £5.10 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.40
This book is very predictable - formula-written. Like it is by a committee not a person. LP's great when you first start traveling. But now I want more information about the places that locals go to and the more unusual locations, hotels and restaurants. With this book you know you are always with the crowd whether you want it or not. And the cultural information is very thin and unimaginative. The only thing that is really good are the maps and the great binding.

135.Rough Guide Map Crete (Rough Guide Map) from: Rough Guides Ltd March 25, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.49 You Save: £1.50 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.89
We bought this map for a holiday on Crete in early 2008 and we used a hire car to get around the island. We are usually good at using maps to find our way but with this one we wasted a lot of time on wrong turnings. The statement in the synopsis that "every road is included" is far from true. It is just not anything like that detailed. To add to the difficulty, there are a lot of major road developments underway on Crete and the map has become badly out-of-date. A good map is needed because of the lack of signposting especially in towns and villages. The coastal resorts have also seen numerous route changes and little seems to correspond to what is on the map. Sometimes a large hotel would be found where the map indicated a road ... Read More:

137.Greek (Lonely Planet Phrasebook) by: Athanasios Spilias March 01, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.44 You Save: £1.55 (31%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.41
As an absolute beginner I found this phrasebook perfect and made me far more confident in my attempts to speak Greek. The book's layout not only looks good but is logical and easy to use. Words are broken up phonetically making them relatively easy to pronounce. All eventualities appear to be catered for.Even if you don't intend to use it, the section on romance will provide some laughs as you read some of the phrases that are included. For those more adventurous there is even a section on grammar which is worth a read. In my opinion the best Greek phrasebook on the market

138.Krakow (Lonely Planet Best of ...) by: Richard Watkins June 01, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.79 You Save: £3.20 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.95
We have recently been to Krakow for a long weekend and are so pleased we bought this book before we went. The book really is fantastic! The book has maps, resturant and bar reviews, overviews of museums, where to shop, suggested walking tours, where to catch buses from history etc!!! We definatley made the most out of our trip by taking this book! We were able to find our way around easily because of the detailed maps! We also ate at a couple of the resturants reviewed in the book - which were excellent! We were able to save money on visiting the salt mines by taking the bus there ourselves rather than go on an organised tour. I would definatley recommend this book to anybody who is thinking of/is going to Krakow! It is ... Read More:

139.Andalucia (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) by: Susan Forsyth, John Noble, Vesna Maric January 01, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.79 You Save: £5.20 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.70
Despite an unusually high number of flaws, this is nevertheless a book that will help you get the most out of your time in Andalucia. Perhaps I just expect too much of Lonely Planet (LP), but it's their own fault. They've stood by me so many times in so many different places in the past that I was beginning to take everything they told me as The Only Advice In Town. So when I arrived in Seville I quickly got into the LP groove and hit La Bella Estrella, a "jazz bar". Well, perhaps I'd arrived the day they buried the proprietor, but there was no jazz going on there, so off I went to Naima Café Jazz, happily only about five doors away down Calle Trajan. A bit better, but still not the place I expected based on LP's ... Read More:

140.The Rough Guide to Corsica - Edition 5 by: David Abram April 27, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £11.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.99 You Save: £5.00 (42%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.33
What, no review yet for this gem, this Koh i Noor that shines in the so often bland and overhyped landscape of travel guides? I'm a guidebook writer myself and know scribes who had the unfortunate task of putting together a competing tome to Rough Guide's Corsica, and were plumb overwhelmed by the task. This book has all the insight, detail, and enthusiasm to carry any intelligent visitor through a rewarding visit to Corsica. And culture culture culture. All exceptionally well written, with no resort-led PR fluff.
