A plethora of information.

This is really more of a 3.5, but I'm generous so gave it a 4. I started reading it because, originally from Texas, I've not been back there for a holiday in awhile, and I wanted to see it as a tourist, not as a local.
The problem is of course that they will list a lot of tourist things. They mention all the "great" bars in Austin, for instance, but fail to mention Lala's. If you want a real treasured dive, try there.
It was an enjoyable read, and I did learn about the parts of Texas I don't really know (it's a big state), but be prepared for repetition, as you sometimes get with these books.

The Lonely Planets books are my go to books when I travel somewhere. I travelled to Texas recently, and used this book when I visited the Dallas Fort Worth area. It's not as good as previous version of the book, which was longer, and more detailed I feel, but this did a pretty good job at telling me what I could do in the DFW area and its' environs.

A great read and very in depth knowledge of places to sight see, shop, eat, drink and meet people. Lonely planet are the best guide books you can get for when visiting places for the first time. I will be taking this book with me, just like the others I have done by lonely planet when I visited other places.
