121.The Rough Guide to India (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by: David Abram, Devdan Sen, Nick Edwards, Mike Ford, Beth Wooldridge, Daniel Jacobs, Joshua Goodman, Anil Mulchandani, Laura Stone, Caroline Sylge October 01, 2008

Despite the inferior quality of the photo reproduction I've always thought that Rough Guide is better value than Lonely Planet. It is generally more informative, more erudite, and the style is arguably geared to a wider readership, while LP leans more towards backpackers and gap-year students. I also think LP is more prone to hyperbole while Rough Guide is normally unflinchingly honest about places. It's perceived negativity is for me a bonus as it is often better to travel with lower or at least realistic expectations. As it says in the opening gambit, many travellers head for India expecting to 'encounter a timeless ascetic wonderland and are surprised to find one of the most materialistic societies on the planet'. I think this is pretty spot ... Read More:

I've just bought this map (June 2008) for a trip next month and was pleased to see it's been brought up to date (it's copyright 2007). The motorway extends up to just short of Alcudia. We had no probs with it, but didn't tour extensively to be fair. The only problem I had was with it's sheer size. It's certainly not cut out for a front seat passenger to peruse as you drive along! The islands split in to half, one half one side, one the other, and when opened out to it's extreme, it pretty much covered our Focus's windscreen! It would have been preferable to have had the whole island on one side, and some more detailed town maps, and a basic island map, on the other, however, the main thing, is it's up to date

Nice book, I agree. But it annoyed me that the map showing the location of the featured places had roads but no railway stations were shown. Shouldn't a book like this be getting us out of our cars? Travelling by train is much more relaxing.

125.The Motorcycle Diaries by: Ernesto "Che" Guevara July 19, 2004

This is the short, eloquent account of Che's travels around South America. He is very descriptive and evocative and this book is not only a great travelogue, but it is also a great insight into what made Che become the revolutionary he did. It looks at the exploits and relationships he experienced on the road, looking day to day for the next meal, lift or bed. A good insight into this iconic figure and a damn good read to boot.

I can't believe that the best feature of this map isn't made clear in the description. It is made of polyester film, therefore it is all but indestructible. Rain, clumsy folding or stuffing into pockets/handbags will do nothing to dim the brilliance of this fine map. A clear enough scale to read all the street names, without being too large. Also, being indestructible, it can be folded and refolded to show just the part of town you are in (or searching for!) There are only a couple of minor gripes. Firstly, the map would be better if it extended a way further north, as only half of Montmartre is shown. Secondly, the Metro plan is too small to read easily, and covers only the city centre. However, a pocket guide to the ... Read More:

127.A Parrot in the Pepper Tree: A Sort of Sequel to "Driving Over Lemons" by: Chris Stewart May 30, 2002

I picked this book up when I saw it lying on a friend's coffee table and became absorbed from the first chapter, so much so I was barely able to put it down until it was finished. It is written in a humorous, fluent and self-deprecating style that provides a fascinating insight into life as an ex-pat in a remote foreign farming community. The book's worth is increased for me by it coming across as a very honest account of events naturally brought to life by the characters and their situation. Each chapter is a self-contained episode which keeps the whole thing fresh. I certainly chuckled aloud at one or two sections; the improptu talk given to the Swedish on cattle rearing in England being particularly memorable. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I'm not a big reader and had never before read a Bill Bryson book but was bought this for Christmas by my parents. I took it with me on holiday as essential beach reading and as soon as I started it, found it VERY hard to put down. Bryson's writing style is easy to read and extremely entertaining whilest being factual and informative. I have now started to read his 'Down Under' book and am quick becoming a big Bill Bryson fan!

I have used this map for two trips around NZ, and will use it again for my third trip later this year as it is still in great condition considering the daily folding and unfolding that you inevitably do as you travel the length and breadth of this fantastic country. As it is small and lightweight it is ideal just to tuck in your suitcase or backpack no need to carry a big bulky map around. A must for any NZ traveller, at a reasonable price.
