After the low point of my relationship with Lonely Planet (Montréal and Québec City), I was pleased to have my faith restored in the imprint with this excellent guide. As you'd expect, author Damien Simonis sings the city's praises, but it's never over the top and, let's face it, how many cities can you name that can beat Barcelona? (Of the three I can think of, two are Spanish.) This is a well-measured talking up of a city that needs no talking up. A number of elements make Barcelona for me: accessibility of live music, art, food and language. Taking the last first, this is the only place I found Simonis indecisive, and I have to admit I'm still confused myself, but generally speaking I get away with ... Read More:

73.South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Mary Fitzpatrick, Kate Armstrong, Becca Blond, Michael Kohn, Simon Richmond, Alistair Simmonds November 01, 2006

I am surprised at the negative feedback here. As a consistent user of Lonely Planet guides, I have to say that this ranked as one of the more useful country guides i have come across. Writing guidebooks must be a very tricky business - it is necessary to include such a vast quantity of information, while trying simultaneously to capture the feel and mood of a country in such a way that people know what to expect back home. This particular guide does an excellent job in this respect. I spent one month travelling from Pretoria to Cape Town, taking a winding route through Swaziland and Lesotho. I had no schedule and went where I wanted when I wanted. And perhaps it is for this kind of travelling that this guide is most suitable - it doesn't ... Read More:

74.Costa Rica (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Matthew Firestone, Wendy Yanagihara October 01, 2008

A fabulous LP guide to a fabulous country. Thorough, accurate and honest reviews of everything and anything. AND, unlike other lonely planets, there is a wicked sense of humour and healthy cynicism. These guys dont take themselves too seriously!! Highly recommended.

75.Venice and the Veneto (Lonely Planet City Guide) by: Damien Simonis February 01, 2008
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: £6.73
I usually travel with LP so maybe I am a little biased but I did find this book up to their normally high standards. The legendary confusion of Venice's allyways meant I was wary of this book's maps (esp considering LP's less than perfect record in that regard). However I was pleasantly surprised and in 4 days in the city did not get lost using them. It was a little annoying the way they were split across several pages but i guess that was necessary to acheive the accuracy. The tips to the sights and the walking tours were exellent. The restaurant and shopping sections were ok. I cant comment on the hotels section as I was in an apartment. The prices (on everything) and some of the transport details were out-of-date. Read More:

76.Southern Africa (Lonely Planet Multi Country Guide) by: Alan Murphy, Kate Armstrong, Matthew D Firestone, Mary Fitzpatrick, Michael Grosberg, Nana Luckham, Andy Rebold March 01, 2007

This book is truly great. The information on inter-country travelling is superb - not given in as much detail in any other book I've found. There are so many maps that have been kept despite the serious editing that has made the book so relatively small. Accommodation descriptions and prices always accurate, and so good on local transport. A great book for the budget traveller!

77.Cyprus (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Vesna Maric June 01, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £11.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.39 You Save: £3.60 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.91
Before I bought this book there were loads of other customer reviews (don't know why there are none today) with varied opinions - quite a few negative ones, so I ended up buying the Eyewitness Travel guide and the AA spiral guide instead. Whilst the Eyewitness book is lovely to look at having so many colour photos and th AA book is a handy size, I have to say that I ended up buying the Lonely Planet guide as well as it has far more detailed information about the island eg history, costs, restaurants, just everything really. It is written by someone who has tried and tested all that the island has to offer and its detailed reviews entice you to go and try for yourself. It really is a far more superior guide, though admittedly not so attractive to look at.

78.Great Britain (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: David Else May 01, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.19 You Save: £6.80 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.50
This is a large book- over 1000 pages, and it aims to be a single, comprehensive guide to Britain. It begins with a section on travel advice such as tips about safety, information about currency and safety and information about travelling to Britain and within Britain. Basically, information for before you travel. But I would question the appeal of this kind of printed material. All this information can be found out quite easily online, and online sources are naturally much more up to date. In the intro, and throughout the book, they make remarkable generalisations. "English pubs general..." " The British public usually..." I hope people don't take this too seriously! Also this book is not re-written, it is simply updated. As such some sections ... Read More:

79.Dublin (Lonely Planet City Guide) from: Lonely Planet Publications April 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £11.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.19 You Save: £4.80 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.34
We found the LP guide to Dublin to be as accurate and informative as all the others we've used. Information is presented in a very easy to follow format. Recommendations are to be relied upon. We tried a Lebanese restaurant in the book and had a truly delicious meal. We booked a lodge on LP recommendation and it was exactly as described in the book. We did a walking tour in the book and it was brilliant. I don't think I could actually do a sightseeing holiday now without LP as a companion. I'd feel lost without one.
