section helps you take care of the nitty gritty with essential local contacts

The travel book is great! The section on Bangkok is also very
helpful as almost anyone coming/going to Southern Thailand passes through.The
book is small and much more convenient than the larger country wide or SE Asia
guide books. If you are just going to Southern Thailand.. this is all you need.
The format is clear. The prices were a tad off, but this seems to be the norm
with guidebooks
Eye witness: Bali & Lombok
Colorful traveling guidebook in a highly practical format,
leaving no mystery as to whether some place or item may be of real interest
to the individual reader. Therefore, reader can figure out what he/she wants
to see & do without slogging through chapter upon chapter of text. I spend
a lot of time in Bali and I think this is probably the most useful guide for
the average traveler to Bali & Lombok.

Khmer kings, Angkor spreads over 120 square miles in Southeast Asia and includes

shrines preserved in the jungles of Cambodia, is Angkor Wat, the world's largest
temple, an extraordinarily complex structure filled with iconographic detail
and religious symbolism.

this guide covers every inch of South America, including the Guiana's and the
Falkland Islands.
This is sort of a "Japan! Wow!" type of guide, full of eye-popping
graphics and catchy factoids. It is a very fun guide, and does a great job of
engaging enthusiasm for Japan and its wonders. Nothing off the beaten path here,
only the major attractions of each city/region are represented. It is wide but
not deep. Pricing information and such is well done, and gives an accurate picture
of what to expect. Tidbits of culture and history help explain what you will
be seeing and make for interesting overall reading.

Just came back from a three week trip to Vietnam with three
books: the Lonely Planet, the Rough Guide, and Footprint Handbook. The Rough
Guide is the best guidebook around for the country. It is superior to the
Lonely Planet guide in the breadth and depth of coverage and especially its
accuracy. I liked LP for other countries but here they did a very poor job.
I have not found even one instance where Lonely Planet provided information
that Rough did not have.
