Having now gone through the process of moving to New Zealand and read all the books, I can say that this is the best to read. The book is well set out with good sections on things like pensions, health, telephones and work. I think that it describes the areas of New Zealand well The description on New Zealand television is true - it really is very bad! The book only skips over the immigration process and that is a good thing. The rules change every year so it is better to go to the New Zealand Immigration Service website for up to date information. My advice to anyone is read this book but if you want to live here for goodness sake come on a holiday first. You need to experience it and I can honestly say it has many benefits but it sure isn't ... Read More:

5.Bruges (Cadogan Guides) by: Antony Mason September 16, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.99 You Save: £5.00 (45%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.00
The information in this book is fairly comprehensive, but it has both serious and minor flaws. On the minor front,an example is one company lauded for its dinner tours no longer seems to cover Bruges so the information is out of date or just wrong. On the major front, the city maps have no street index and so are of very little use and the map of restaurants gives numbers to restaurants which are neither alphabetically listed nor area-based so relating number to restaurant is needlessly tricky. Altogether an adequate guide book for an introduction to the city but not enough to rely on to get around without extra materials.

There seems to be only 2 or 3 books around which cover this region of Italy in any detail. This one is clearly written with the most passion and genuine local knowledge. The historical background to the region is very detailed and, for a travel guide, not too dry. The suggestions the writers make e.g. places to eat, historical buildings, markets, I have always found to be accurate and trustworthy. The book is laid out intuitively too, starting in the west and working east through the region making places easy to locate. I think the key to really enjoying this region is exploring. This guide makes good suggestions but I've usually found there's quite a lot more to discover than this book lets on. Perhaps that's a good ... Read More:

8.Dordogne and the Lot (Cadogan Guide Dordogne, the Lot & Bordeaux) by: Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls May 18, 2007

I have to disagree with the previous reviewer. I've always found the Cadogan guides written by Facaros and Pauls brilliant. Yes, they lack the pictures that you get in an Eyewitness guide, for example, but they more than make up for that in the quality of the text: it is detailed without being heavy, and fun without being stupid. To me, they strike the right balance between historical and architectural information and foodie indulgence. I bought this to replace my copy of the third edition which has now fallen apart through over use. I rate their stuff so highly that I now look to see if they have written a guide to a place I intend to visit. In a perfect world I'd have one of these and a corresponding Eyewitness guide - but if I only had room ... Read More:

Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.49 You Save: £4.50 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.75
This was a very good book to take along with me for my recent trip to Mexico. The reviews were spot on with regards to the various resorts and attractions. There was also plenty of well written information with regards to the Mayan history,historical sites, the local wildlife etc. With each review of a location, there were very helpful tips with regards to shopping, eating out, diving etc.
