I haven't finished this yet, but what I've read so far is very informative. The only disappointment I have is that there are occasional spelling errors and at one point, a paragraph ends in mid-sentence at the end of a page and the next page starts a new section. I feel like that's something the editors should have noticed...

even though this is technically a travel guide, this book offers so much more - a great glimpse of culture, architecture, food, history, sport, wildlife, etc. not much on actual travel logistics (e.g. restaurants, hotels). contains a wonderful wildlife field guide which i have returned to several times in preparation for my trip to sabi sands.

Very useful book. I used this book as my main source for info on an 8 day trip to DC and it helped me decide my itinerary and priorities. Well organized and handy. Recommend.

Not as helpful with practicalities as other guides but a much better overview of the history, architecture and culture.

As usual, I find the DK Eyewitness Travel books to be the most helpful in planning a trip. With all the photos, you can visualize what places are like well enough to determine if they are your taste or not. I always supplement with another guide for a little more cultural, local detail (ie Lonely Planet books), but I use these books for the most information in a well laid out format.
