The sales logo for it is: "Travel brochures will lie!" http://markbattypublisher.com/books/travelers-advisory/ Product details * Hardcover: 144 pages * Publisher: Mark Batty Publisher (23 Jun 2008) * Language English * ISBN-10: 0979554632 * ISBN-13: 978-0979554636 --- Rudolf "Rangutan" Graspointner Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rangutan   jacko1 Premium account Joined: Jan 09 Points: 6151 Posts: 46 Posted: 2010-09-13 21:06:00    I would be interested in your opinion Rudi, I got used to ignoring brochures but always tried to get a copy of 'The Rough Guide' usually pretty accurate! --- I am no longer a stranger in a strange land.

I often buy two or three travel guides and compare the info, be it; lonely planet, marco-polo, polyglott... They dont change much, an old or used guide costs around €3. --- Rudolf "Rangutan" Graspointner Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rangutan
