131.Round Ireland with a Fridge by: Tony Hawks May 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.54 You Save: £2.45 (31%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
A travelogue with a difference, or at least a fridge. Or 'My self absorbed travels around various pubs in Ireland whilst trying to get my leg over'. Hawks shows virtually no interest in the country he is visiting (he leaves the 'deeply spiritual' place he feels 'honoured' to be visiting to go to the pub (surprise) to watch a football match. (The photo's included in the book are of the fridge, cars and pubs, there is 1 - yes one, photo of some scenery) His attitude is 'me, me, me' all the the way throuh, which to be honest might not be so bad if Hawks were a pleasant companion but unfortuantley he comes accross as an uninformed, patronising, buffoon. His 'jokes' are painfull (especially towards the end ... Read More:

133.Great Motorcycle Journeys of the World by: Colette Coleman August 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £24.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £17.49 You Save: £7.50 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £19.13
A book for bikers (or wannabe bikers) who are looking for more than just a trip to the coast or pub of a weekend. Well written, entertaining, and above all inspires the desire to want to do one of the trips described. Great photos, simple maps and descriptions of each trip, most based on the authors personal experiences so well informed.

134.Narrow Dog to Indian River by: Terry Darlington April 07, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.94 You Save: £6.05 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.99
I really enjoyed the previous book, Narrow dog to Carcassone, which I read on holiday last year. I waited with bated breath, and eager anticipation for this follow up journey, which was mentioned on the last few pages. - Have just read the first two chapters, hence only three stars up to now, and so far the American adventure has not yet begun, but Terry has a "turn of phrase" that makes me chuckle out loud. Monica, his long suffering wife, is an excellent "straight woman" for Terry and his "daftness". Monica is the heroine of both tales and Jim the whippet offer the light releif. Must get back to the book now.

135.Argentina (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Danny Palmerlee, et al August 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.21 You Save: £5.78 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.17
I have used Lonely Planet guides a number of times to good effect, however the Argentina guide was woefully inaccurate, resulting in a good deal of frustration. The maps are both out of date and in some cases never correct in the first place. A suggested option for tango in Buenos Aires led us into a tourist trap hell hole which ended up costing over £50 and the police getting involved. I think the book was written in 2003 and therefore is inadequate to guide a stranger. In the end we abandonded the book and found life much easier. Argentina is a fabulous country - simply stunning. Buy another guide to avoid wasting your time there - but enjoy the place.

136.The Motorcycle Diaries by: Ernesto "Che" Guevara July 19, 2004
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: £0.78
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.

137.Go Slow England by: Alastair Sawday March 06, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £13.19 You Save: £6.80 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.39
This is just the sort of guidebook I've been waiting for. Packed full of places to stay and places to visit, inspired by 'good food and artisan producers.... craftmanship and community, landscape and history'. The book is divided into geographical regions with useful maps so that you can plan your time (or dip in and out as you wish). As with all Sawday guides, the places reviewed have a thorough write up. Stunning photos are sprinkled through the book..... A book to curl up with and plan your slow adventures. Just gorgeous!

138.Driving Over Lemons: An Optimist in Andalucia by: Chris Stewart June 03, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.49 You Save: £1.50 (21%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
This book is so well written and witty, describing an idylic life in Spain that I am sure many will be tempted to follow in Chris's and my own footsteps. I have been through the same story as this family, having lived in Spain for the past sixteen years, longer than Chris. I speak fluent Castellano, the same as him. My warning about his book is unless you can speak Spanish perfectly, you will never enjoy half the experiences described. If you are willing to learn the language, then "Driving Over Lemmons" is so good and an inspiration. If you are inspired and are up for it then Spain is still a good choice. My advice is read the book, learn to speak Spanish, enjoy and do the same. Wonderful read and a wonderful country. I am writting this review on the PC powered ... Read More:

139.The London Encyclopedia by: Christopher Hibbert, Ben Weinreb, John Keay, Julia Keay August 15, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £50.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £32.50 You Save: £17.50 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £22.15
The old 'Weinreb' was the best single-volume reference book on London, despite a few minor but still niggling errors. Happily most of these have been pulled out, the book's been expanded with more entries and even better illustration, and I had no hesitation whatever in grabbing a copy as soon as it went on sale. There's nothing to touch it, frankly: magnificent, endlessly fascinating, and outstanding value even before the discount. My 'Desert Island Discs' read, as indeed it's been for the last 25 years.

140.The Rough Guide to Venice and the Veneto (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by: Jonathan Buckley June 28, 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: £5.75
Not only was this book helpful when choosing where to stay - information was accurate and relevant - it was also invaluable in terms of finding ways to save money (which is a must in Venice!). But the best feature about this book was its information on the places to visit. It saved us a fortune because we didn't need to buy guide books for any of the venues! The book is written with fascinating tidbits of information, many of which will make you smile and laugh, so be careful not to read in church if you're not prepared to stifle your laughter. If I had to say one negative thing about this book, it would be that the entry fees are now very slightly out of date... but if you add 1 euro to the price in the book, you're never likely to be upset ...
