It would seem almost impossible to write a one-volume travel book on the USA but somehow Rough Guides has managed it in style. I would usually hesitate to spend more than £15 on a paperback but this is so detailed and well-written I find myself returning to it again and again. These days it's probably easier to use online resources when choosing accommodation but as a pithy guide to resorts and for planning trip itineries, this Rough Guide is invaluable.

..which seems a difficult thing to do. What is good about it, is that it describes each town/city and provides a couple of ideas for places to stay/eat which is useful. What it doesn't provide is a good read. I think because it's written by an American, it's not quite right for a British audience - as it doesn't provide the outsider's point of view which I was looking for. I'm not interested in knowing where the best baseball games are in each state nor anything that smacks of patriotism, I want to know when is the best time to travel to each place, what I need to look out for, what are good things to take, car hire information, where will give me a real glimpse of America, the FEEL of the places. The other issue, is that it reads from West ... Read More:

5.Australia (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Justine Vaisutis November 01, 2007

Previous editions of this book have been criticised for focusing too much on mid range and expensive places to sleep and eat whilst leaving out cheaper, more budget-orientated options. This edition (14th) is aimed at restoring the balance slightly, and from what I can see it appears to be an improvement. There are a lot of guidebooks for Australia on the market so it is just a matter of finding one that is to your taste, but this one is definitely full of comprehensive information for your trip.

found it much more useful then the time out NYC guidebook. Went to a couple of suggested bars which were fun. the pull out map is particularly useful. However, NYC is a city you want to get lost in so don't get the guidebook out too often!

The previous editions (see other reviews) may have been great, but the new Sept 2006 version is a real disappointment. Just used it for 3 weeks in NZ. For years I have used Lonely Planets. They give you information. Something has gone wrong with this NZ one. Far too much is the worst sort of travel writers' gush. Far too little is the sort of info LP are otherwise justly famous for. A real shame - lets hope LP are going to quickly revise and re-write it. Meanwhile, I'd suggest checking out the alternatives.

Whilst travelling through Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Paragruay and Brazil, I quickly realised that this book was not going to be much help 'in the field'. It is in urgent need of up dating; many of the hostels and hotels mentioned have either closed, renamed or vanished off the face of the earth. I used this guide to plan my trip, but upon arrival it did little more than fill up space in my rucksack. The maps are quite useful...to a point. Most of the restaurants, hostels etc are not in the right place on the map (which i found out to my cost when lugging my rucksack around Ascunsion). However, the layout is accurate and helps to orientate yourself around cities. The information regarding major tourist attractions is ... Read More:
