Best guide hands-down

This was my #1 go-to guide for our recent summer trip to WDW. It is a huge book with tons of info and I earmarked a lot of pages. It was a definite must-have for our vacation!

The reasons I consider this guide the best (after browsing 3-4 others):

1. It contains star ratings for each campground for its beauty, privacy, spaciousness, cleanliness, quiet and safety, which can help you decide fast if a campground is for you before reading the detailed description - time saving and useful if one isn't yet familiar with the area
2. It includes a detailed description of the campgrounds themselves in terms of geographical location, surrounding nature, distance from roads, rivers, hiking trails etc. and of groups of sites (where applicable) and individual sites at each campground in terms of seclusion, nature around the campsite, sunlight, distance from toilets/ water sources, accessibility etc. - extremely useful if one doesn't know the area and has specific preferences/needs for a tent site.
3. For each campground, it provides a map and key information like address, who operates the campground, if the campsites have picnic tables and/or fire rings, the website and or phone numbers where to make reservations, campground facilities, fees, etc. - it makes reserving the site easy and fast
4. It discusses 60 campground - plenty to choose from.

In summary, the book helped us with booking the perfect tent site for all our hiking adventures (we are beginners to intermediate, 3-seasons campers); we recommend it!
Also, the short literary quotes at the beginning of each campground's description provided a nice touch for us.

The ebook works perfectly, no glitches at all; all the maps/images could be enlarged.

Hands down one of the best comprehensive guides of Iceland available. We travel extensively and Lonely Planet is one of two publishers we acquire for every trip planning. Full color photos, multiple maps of villages, cities and notable landmarks throughout Iceland, make this book engaging to anyone. Favorite features of the book include - road distances between communities in each overview, Fire & Ice / Wildlife Watching (subsection middle of book) and a pull out map of Reykjavik. I love the history facts contained in each chapter, everything from nordic history to volcanic activity. This is a must have for any traveler, and will join our library of other destinations of where we've been and where we're going.

Accurate information, plenty of details, solid hotel and restaurant recommendations. The chapter on the people and culture is by far the best of any of the guidebooks, and the lengthy descriptions of places allow you to fully get a feel for where you are going before you arrive. There is all sorts of oddball information and random facts thrown in which you don't get in the other Madagascar guides, which proves entertaining for long taxi-brousse rides or nights stuck halfway to your destination at a hotel. This is not a flip to a national park and see a small box with a table of practicalities or list or restaurants with stars next to it, it is a guidebook for travelers who like to read! On that note, there are no color photographs either, which is the books only drawback. Pair it with the Bradt guide and you'll have all the lists and photographs you want along with the personal narrative and recommendations of this one!

One of the best guide books I've ever used. Excellent maps, good suggestions on sights and restaurants, and was a great planning tool.  It was also organized extremely well so that it was a good companion on the go.  It helped me to save time, hit all the sights in a neighborhood and find a good place to eat if I got hungry or thirsty.  And it has good background information so that you actually understand the context for what you're seeing.  And it has some gems that make you realize that the author actually has gone to these places and experienced them.  When he says it's a must-see, it is a must-see.  For example, the book mentioned that there was a special "night illumination" at the Kodai-ji temple in the autumm.  I happened to go to the temple at the end of the day and quickly realized that it would be open late for that special viewing -- and so I stayed rather than leaving and experienced a magical evening.  And the author also mentions Obai-in, a temple that is open only in the autumn for a limited time, and said that you must see it if it is open.  I happened to be in the neighborhood, saw a sign saying it was open, and went in -- again having a magical experience I would have missed, but for the book.

Prima makes the best strategy guides I have ever seen, and Heretic: The Official Stategy Guide is no exception by any means.  This book contains everything you could ever want to know about Heretic.  It provides excellent walkthroughs for the entire game, episodes 1-4.  It also has descriptions of monsters and weapons, and how to effectively use those weapons on the individual monsters.  The guide also provides the background story of Heretic as an introduction.  This guide also completely covers multiplayer Heretic, from formations and teamwork, to troubleshooting and special tactics.  I would highly reccomend any strategy guides Prima makes.  I have 9 myself, and they are all absolutely top of the line.  These books have more info in them then the makers of the games knew was in the game when they made it!!
Great Book!

EYEWITNESS Travel Guides are the absolute BEST for any country,state or city. I find the more inclusive state or country guides the best.
Hard sturdy binding, glossy pages with-stand any abuse, won't fall apart after lugging around in a stuffed valise or lazy back-pack, full of photos,and the most up to date information on lodging, restaurants and attractions. Though a bit pricey compared to other travel guides, WELL worth it. It is so handy,you find you will use it over and over even when you are familiar with where you are going.

Absolutely the best guide I've ever had, hands down.

I'm actually coming back to write this after going through the last 3 guides written for the sequential FF console games (FFXIII-2, FFXIII Lightning Returns, and FFXV). I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this guide was in a completely different class of it's own. Everything you could possibly need to know is in the guide including (IMO) the best Walk-through section ever written for any game. I keep comparing other guides to this, and keep getting disappointed ever single time. This guide was written in a way that non of the story-line is spoiled, but all of the missions and areas are extremely detailed and well articulately written to a point where story details are simply not needed to understand exactly where and what you're supposed to do.

I was able to complete that game and get everything I wanted out of it, and still years later I come back to this guide and just really admire the hard work and craftsmanship that was put into writing this thing. I can't rave enough on how wonderfully written this guide is! The only downside is now my standards for a strategy guide are really high and now I feel nothing really compares. It's a bit saddening.

Frommers is consistently the best. I bought two travel guides for a recent trip to Ireland, and ended up using only Frommers. It greatly enriched our trip.

At first I thought paying $21.95 for a guide would be completely ridiculous, but after receiving it -- WOW, is all I can say! It looks to be the most comprehensive and up-to-date gay travel guide on the planet! This guide is especially written for those of us who like to get naked and let it all hang out... this sixth edition really shines with not only US listings, but detailed international naked listings for the connoisseur of worldwide nude travel. Upon receiving this book, I immediately flipped to New York, and was amazed to find clubs and B&B's I've never even heard of! I've got so much to do now!!! The format of the guide is extremely easy to carry, easily compacted, EXTREMELY colorful, great pictures of some GEORGEOUS men, and really easy to navigate. I've read the previous editions, but this 6th edition is hands down the best gay naked travel guide in the country.  It's got the combo of things that make it worth every penny: Pictures, information, full-color, and just plain fun to read. RUN; don't walk to buy this thing. If you're looking for some steamy fun on the weekends, wherever you may be, pick this guide up and browse on through.

I wasn't sure if I really liked this book when I first got it, but after reading many other London travel guides, I could find none better than this one. It has become my Bible and will accompany me every step of my trip.  One suggestion for the publisher: I would have given the book five stars if  a pull-out map of all of London was included!

Just back from a week-long trip to Portugal (which included several regions as well as Lisbon), I strongly recommend this guide!

Having had the chance to review (and use) several other guides on Portugal, including Fodor's<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Fodor-s-Portugal-8th-Edition-Fodor-s-Gold-Guides/dp/1400017750/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Fodor's Portugal, 8th Edition (Fodor's Gold Guides)</a>, Frommer's<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Frommer-s-Portugal-Frommer-s-Complete/dp/0470181869/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Frommer's Portugal (Frommer's Complete)</a>, Eyewitness<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Portugal-Eyewitness-Travel-Guides/dp/078949423X/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Portugal (Eyewitness Travel Guides)</a>, I can assuredly say that this was the most informative, comprehensive, practical and well-balanced guide of the bunch.

Yes, it does not give you the most wonderful glossy pictures that Eyewitness provides, and perhaps the description of restaurants and hotels may not be as expansive (though they are solid) as Frommer's, but Lonely Planet achieves the type of balance between facts, background, recommendations and maps that none of the other guides do.

Pair this with Lonely Planet's Portuguese Phrasebook&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Portuguese-Lonely-Planet-Phrasebook/dp/1740592131/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Portuguese: Lonely Planet Phrasebook</a>&nbsp;and you'll be all set to travel.

Truly the best hiking guide I've ever used. Written by real hikers for real hikers. Thoughtfully designed, wonderfully organized and packed with pertinent useful information. I like to plan all my hikes before I travel. I also like to have back up plans for weather or injury conditions. This guide is perfect. I always try to avoid crowds and this guide tells all you need to help. Plus it is informative and humorously well opinionated. Worth the money. I wish they had more guides for the US.

This is THE book for hiking the AT, and much more comprehensive than the other one-volume guide books out there.  I used the 2012 book for my thru-hike attempt last year, and it is far and above the best one.

This book lists more water sources than any of the other books, and has a helpful elevation profile which is most useful not for seeing what is ahead, but for figuring out exactly where you are.  It lists the needed amenities in all the Trail towns, including mail drop locations at hostels and outfitters, not just Post Offices.  It includes the minor road crossings, so you can figure out where to do trail magic if you so desire, and helps when you need to get off the trail quickly.

It also includes a full list of AT festivals, so you can plan to hit the various towns at certain times.

Most importantly, it has a glue binder that makes it easy to remove the pages, so you can take only the pages you need for a section and bounce the rest forward.

Very rarely in these days where detailed walkthroughs and FAQs are available online for free does a guide come along that actually trumps anything you can find online. The FuturePress Bayonetta guide is one of those rare guides that is better than any FAQ for this game and will likely stay that way. For that reason, it's definitely worth the money, even the premium that you'll almost certainly have to pay now that the guide is out of print (and unavailable for official sale in North America, you'll have to buy second-hand if you want a copy in the US or Canada).

The guide itself is a gorgeous collector's item, with a beautiful hardcover and quality binding (there's even a replica of Bayonetta's hair ribbon to use as a bookmark)! It's one of the loveliest strategy guides ever produced, its cover adorned with a high-res picture of Bayonetta's leather-clad leg. It feels great to hold and it's a very nice coffee-table style book, which is what one would expect from a collector's edition guide. I'd go so far as to recommend it even to people who don't own the game itself, the layout of the guide is very impressive and it's just a lovely thing to look at... and reading through it for an hour or two will probably make someone who didn't own Bayonetta want to go out and buy the game.

But of course, the reason most people will want the book, even with its skyrocketing collector's value, is the information contained within. This book puts everything you'd want to know about Bayonetta right at your fingertips. For those just looking to beat the game, the Scenario Guide is an informative walkthrough with accurate maps and locations of important items that will give Bayonetta the strength and abilities she'll need to conquer the host of angel adversaries in the game. Speaking of angel adversaries, the book offers 100 pages of information on Angels and how to take them out, from the weakest cannon fodder foes to the powerful final boss, the information in the Scenario Guide and Angel chapters alone is enough to get one comfortably through the game. The real meat of the book lies in its Pure Platinum Combat Guide and its Combat Guide. The Pure Platinum guide walks you through everything you'll need to achieve the game's top scores, it's like a walkthrough for 100% completionists, something very few guides offer. The Combat Guide is where the book shows off the incredible level of detail within. This book explores the mechanics of the game in ways untouched even by the most detailed of online walkthroughs available (believe me, I checked, none of the FAQs available online approaches the information in this guide). From statistics on what the exact requirements are for achieving Platinum medals, to enemy stats, to award points for combos, this book has it all. The Combat Guide explores each combo of each weapon, giving the pros and cons for each one of Bayonetta's ludicrously high number of possible attacks. This kind of information is typically reserved for the best in-depth online character FAQs for fighting games, seeing it in a published strategy guide for an action game is mind-blowing.

The people who worked on this guide clearly spent an incredible amount of time putting it together (6,000 hours according to the publisher), the result of their work is this amazing guide, quite possibly the greatest strategy guide ever put together for a video game. There's a reason people are paying incredible premiums for this guide. Try to find as good a deal as you can on it, but if you're a fan of Bayonetta, save up some dough and buy this guide, before it's impossible to find at any price.

This is a hand fitting comprehensive guide, with all the info needed to plan travel. Several major city maps are included, along with guides to points of interest, and best ways to get to and from, times of operation, costs, etc. Rarely, they even advise 'skip this and do that'. Lodging and meals and some entertainments are rated reasonable, expensive or pricey. I have yet to find more than a dozen 'reasonables' in all of the UK. Maybe I missed more in the rest of Europe.

This is a great book if you're planning to travel. It's even a great book for the armchair traveler. Pictures and commentary make you feel as if you're already there.
