131.East Africa (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Mary Fitzpatrick, Tom Parkinson, Nick Ray June 01, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.89 You Save: £5.10 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.15
This book was invaluable when travelling in East Africa. The layout is easy to understand and it has basic country history, language and local information, as well as information about East Africa in general. There is not as much detain in the single East Africa book as in each individual country book, and although this was in some ways irritating it was useful when making last minute travel plans. Guide books are not widely available in east Africa, but it was easy to change plans to suit our requirements with the book covering the whole area. I would recommend a more specialised book for exploring one country in more depth, or to accompany this one.

132.Indonesia (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Justine Vaisutis January 01, 2007

This is currently by default both the best overall guide to Indonesia for independent travellers, and the only one that is remotely up to date. The competition (Moon, Footprint, Rough Guides) seems to have given up covering this vast archipelago years ago. For this reason alone, the book still gets 4 stars from me, despite some shortcomings and amusingly striking errors outlined later. It definitely covers enough attractions to keep people occupied for months, and is more than enough for those with an average interest in the country. As usual with this series, it covers practical details like prices, public transport and city maps, though unusually for Lonely Planet, many prices in this book (especially for public transport ...

133.Belgium and Luxembourg (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Gert Cole, Leanne Logan June 01, 2007

As much as I am faithul to Lonely Planet guidebooks, I was shocked by reading their edition of Belgium & Luxembourg. Not only did we have to wait 2004 to have a LP guidebook for those 2 countries (which must be after about all other regions in the world, even Antarctica, Papua New Guinea and tiny tropical islands), but it's not even half satisfying. They should have kept the previous title "Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp", as there is frankly not much about the rest of the country. For instance, Belgium has some 3000 castles, but for some reason only 2 (yes, a miserable 2 !) are listed in the Lonely Planet. Same sparsity for the abbeys. Then, the book is heavily centered on Brussels and Flanders, as if the author didn't know more ... Read More:

I had access to the Footprint of Namibia as well as this Lonely Planet guide for the last 19 days in Namibia. Being an avid LP guide user for many years it was my first choice, but I have to say it was eclipsed by the Footprint guide, and a downright disappointment at times. So much information I looked for was either missing or worse, wrong. Given that it is a 2007 edition I was amazed to discover that a bridge built over the Zambezi in 2004/5 to access Zambia from Namibia was missing. LP stated there was still a ferry only across the river, and as a result I would have driven via Botswana and Zimbabwe instead had I not had the Footprint. I have also decided I don't like the way they always quote prices in US dollars - why not in the ... Read More:

I haven't had a problem with the accuracy and the usefulness of the information in this Lonely Planet guide to England. I have no complaints there. The prices and the opening times are right. The recommendations insightful and the options presented (more or less) clearly. My only complaint is that the depth of information is quite limited and the maps don't often cover more than the very city town centre of most locations. I can understand that the book can only be so big but really, who wants to carry around a chapter of England's history when you travel and then resort to a series of additional maps and guide information. If you're going to carry this great hunking book when you travel, take it to read as well as as your guide book and ... Read More:

140.Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya (Lonely Planet Walking Guides) by: Stan Armington October 01, 2001

This is not a self sufficient guide, but if you combine it with the Nepal Lonely Planet and some good maps it is really helpful. Why go through all this trouble, you might ask, and not get something more comprehensive. First because most travellers (I make a bold assumption) are used to the Lonely Planet style and second because being of a smallish size it is the perfect guide to keep in your pocket while you walk and check as you go along what you covered against the trek dexcription found inside.
