Over the last decade, these books have established themselves as the best guides ever created, and are now translated into over 25 languages and sold worldwide.

His "backdoors" are rapidly becomming "frontdoors" as more and more readers discover his works, but I really appreciate the style of travel he advocates: find little places where you can have authentic experiences, and avoid becoming the "ugly American" by being open to other cultures & traditions. Rick is opinionated, and tells it straight about what's worth seeing and what's not, considering your limited vacation time. I don't always agree on his assesments, but I have found him to be a reliable guide much more often than not... for Europe this year I traveled with his book and Lonely Planet, and did well between the two.
