Review # 1 was written on 2014-03-18 00:00:00 David Szyszka Downloaded the e-book in advance of a trip around Porto and down to Lisbon. Different version to that shown, but then no other version on goodreads, and who reads a 2003 guide anyhow? The e-book functionality/format is shockingly poor, the presentation cruddy, but the content even suffers. Reminisced with friends about the "Lonely planet:on a shoe string" days when the writers actually did their homework and found rare gems. Sure, if you had an old edition the restaurants and hotels would be tourist-tired, but with a fresh edition, the book did what it said on the lable. Not so anymore... the descriptions of homely, convivial restaurants were met by a reality of a michelen staresque (prices and snootyess included) reality, the charming residences gave the impression of product placement rather than value/quality based. This guide series is rapidly reducing to a handy "itinerary and historical background" and is moving away from being up to date and useful.
