The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money. <p> From pub-hopping and leprechaun-chasing to Ogham stones and the <em>Book of Kells</em>, Lonely Planet presents the essential Ireland. In addition to the requisite lowdown on food and accommodations, a detailed activities section covers everything from walking and birdwatching to hang gliding and rock climbing. The book's intriguing &quot;boxed asides&quot; delve into topics ranging from the mystical to the environmental, including the witch of Kilkenny, the legend of Inishbofin Island, the Birr Observatory and Telescope, even Ireland's disappearing bogs. <em>--Kathryn True</em> </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[San Francisco is a city of distinct neighborhoods, each with intriguing histories, notable architecture, and can't-miss dining and entertainment options. In <em>Walking San Francisco</em>, Tom Downs has created an exceptional guide to exploring the best of the City &quot;on the ground,&quot; from North Beach to Lands End, Bernal Heights to Golden Gate Park. Take one of these specially designed walking tours and you'll not only get great exercise but soak up the history, culture, and vibe of the City by the Bay. It's like having a savvy tour guide at your side, showing you where to find great mojitos, and pointing out a rare worker-owned strip joint. Two special tours sample the best bars in North Beach and the Mission District. Locals and visitors alike will appreciate insider tips and entertaining asides in the 30 walking tours. Each tour contains a clear neighborhood map, route summaries, and a &quot;Points of Interest&quot; section outlines a walk's highlights.]]>
