A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

This is a very unhelpful book. It is worse than useless because having it gives false confidence. The maps are just detailed enough so that at first glance you think they are useful. And then they turn out to be useless. You are better off going with a compass and asking directions. Better yet, get a set of real maps.
A large portion of the book is devoted to coverage of the Camino, which again has just enough detail to be misleading and therefore useless.
I guess that the authors threw this work together over a long drunken weekend.

A fun book with wonderful hikes described. I found it inspiring and took it to Spain to see where some of these hikes were and at least check out the area. I hope to follow up with actually hiking some of the routes described.
