101.Bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast (Cadogan Guides) by: Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls June 30, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.32
To my mind, a good travel guide should not just provide practical information on where to stay, eat and visit: It should also entertain in the weeks leading up to your departure, and give you a good flavour of the place you are going to visit. This guide does this admirably for the Bay of Naples. My husband and I went to Italy in 1996 armed only with this book, and had a whale of a time! We felt that it was a pretty good guide, and also hilarious; take what the authors say about The Napoletani: "(they) do not stand in lines, or fill out forms, or stop for traffic signals; they will talk your ears off, run you over in their ancient Fiats, criticize the way you dress, whisper alarming propositions, give you sweets, try to pick your ...

102.Prague (Cadogan City Guides) by: Sadakat Kadri 1992-12
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.85
Rough guides and lonely planets annoy me because they unceremoniously dump factoids upon you, and are often culturally insensitive. (They serve a purpose for basic information though, so sometimes it is advantageous to put up with them.) This book is different. I expect it will amaze and delight you if you go at it expecting just another travel guide. It is learned, incisive, and even wildly humorous at times. Like a knowledgeable friend. The best!

103.Venice (Cadogan City Guides) by: Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls September 30, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £11.78
This is a brilliant little book - small enough to put in your pocket, easy to read, funny, full of every kind of information you might want, witty, well researched - and ..... I followed the hints on buying a Venetian door knocker, and saved myself about £30! Thanks.

I know it's terrible to pick on such things, but there were many, many misspellings of Spanish places, names, etc. It made me wonder if they were so careless about checking such simple things, what else did they not check?

106.There and Back Again: In the Footsteps of J.R.R. Tolkien (In the Footsteps) by: Mathew Lyons March 23, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.09 You Save: £0.90 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
This is quite an unusual book - a mix of biography, travel writing, history with a bit of self-mocking thrown in - but on the whole it works really well. Over the course of a year, Lyons set out to explore Tolkien's inspiration in the English countryside the only way possible - on foot. What you get is a series of chapters on one or more places in England. Lyons writes beautifully about the landscape and demonstrates in each place he visits the relationship between the landscape and its history and myths and Tolkien's work. Don't read this expecting to be told where you can find a hidden Yorkshire valley just like Rivendell or something (although there are a couple of surprise discoveries that really impressed me!). It's more ... Read More:

This book is good, although much of the section on charges and taxes are no out of date as a new property tax was introduced in Portugal in 2004. The book refers to this but has no detail, for example different rates are payable if this a permanent residence or a second home.
