Lately I've been reading a LOT of travel guides. I'm not going to bother reviewing them. But I thought I'd note that this Time Out series is a good one. I like the combination of landmarks with sites that are off-the-beaten path. Good photos, practical information.

The maps are the bomb diggity and I bought this book at the British Museum to get me through London by myself. I was definitely able to navigate using it. However I wasn't too keen on how the chapters were organized...just a personal preference.

I left it with my British friends for them to use.

Great reference book set out in a really helpful and handy way. Recommended even for Londoners.

This was a very nice full-color book, but much of the color is used for advertisements. This is interesting from a cultural perspective, but frankly that's not what I want in a book.

Time Out is a fun series that tells you about the local night life. Looking forward to checking it out.

Decent travel guide. I am not the biggest fan of travel guides as I feel you can get a lot more information and up to date advice online. I only read travel books if I borrow them from the library.
