The organization of this guide wasn't very intuitive, though it got me by in a pinch, and since I managed to find a used copy, it only put me out a few bucks. So basically I am a victim of my own cheapness. If I had it to do over again, I'd probably go with one of the DK guides. If I was planning a really long trip, Lonely Planet and a little more foresight. Still, good size for tucking into a shoulderbag; some decent recommendations, photos, history snippets.
