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.

The history and some sidebars are written in the gratingly breezy Lonely Planet style, but overall this proved just the thing for planning our May trip.
This is the best Lonely Planet book I've read to date, and I think their strength may may lay in locality guides than sweeping pan-continental books. It was clearly written by local experts, and covers the full gamut of the island: no valley on Corsica is left unmentioned.

This was the single most useful guidebook I've ever read. The "Author's Pick" restaurants and hotels were without exception fantastic. We never would have eaten so well or stayed in a 1912 formerly-grand-now-slightly-worn hotel if it hadn't been for this book. A couple of inaccuracies in service hours and directions can be forgiven for the great coverage of the island.
