Guidebooks
Things to look for when
choosing a guidebook:
The year it was published.
Make sure to get the lastest
edition whenever possible for
the most up to date info. Check
the first few pages to see what
year it was published.
Countries it covers.
Make a list of where you are
planning to visit then check to
see that your guidebook covers
these.
A book specific for your
destination.
If you are only going to Paris,
get a Paris book, rather than a
France book. The more specific,
the more information that will
be of use to your trip.
The style of travel.
If you are a budget backpacker
planning on staying in hostels
or cheap hotels, you will need a
different style of guidebook
than someone looking for a more
high end trip.
Does it have what you are
looking for?
I use my guidebooks mostly for
the accommodation listings and
the maps, so I look for a book
with lots of accommodations
listed and clear maps. Some
people use them for the history
of sights. Decide what you will
be using it the most for, the
concentrate on that.
