Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-08 00:00:00 Ken Rapoza Well I didn't need all of England, but I did need the Cotswolds and London and collected a lot of good information. I can see good gawd ! London is expensive. I'm usually a Frommer's guide fan, but like to check out what the library has before I purchase something. I categorize the the audience for the various guides : Fodors - travelers with a bit more money Frommers - middle money Rick Steves, Lonely planet - lower middle money, and worried about not worrying about appearances Let's Go- is there such a thing as a poor student traveler anymore?

Review # 2 was written on 2010-06-17 00:00:00 Charles Mcintosh Jr Densely informative, and kind of laid out like a textbook. (A good textbook. One which has an easy-to-follow key and organizing system and breaks up big blocks of text by bolding key terms and putting asides in cute little boxes. And the awareness of how quickly it will be outdated and encouragement to check the associated website.) But the tone is more accessible than a textbook, and there are citations of random internet people using their user names which is kind of not professional like a textbook would be. Like a textbook, I took notes on this book. (I'm a giant nerd.) I think it's kind of a helpful way to approach all the information (and to not feel overwhelmed by all the pound-signs which indicate that most of the suggestions cost mucho dinero). Overall, it's a nice guide. I skimmed the whole thing, but it would be useful to have while on a trip, I think, to refer to parts. Really, guide books like this should be for quick reference to parts anyway because of how much information there is (not to mention how unreasonable it is to try to internalize all that information without some sort of experience to ground it).
