About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

De voorpret voor mijn jaarlijkse stedentrip met zuslief is weer begonnen met het lezen van de Lonely Planet. Natuurlijk heb ik wéér wat geleerd over de geschiedenis van Europa (ik had geen idee dat er in de jaren zestig een dictator de macht had gegrepen en dat Griekenland tot die tijd een koningshuis had) en ik vind het mooi dat dat elke keer weer gebeurt.

Deze pocket behandelt de stad wijk voor wijk en bevat twee wandelroutes.

Ik heb er zin in.

Una guía Lonely Planet, pero en pequeñito (para esto que acabo de decir no me necesitaban ustedes). Creo que su tamaño reducido hace la información más congruente y concisa, como si hubiera menos necesidad de llenar páginas con mucho material estéril sobre bares y discotecas (aunque algo de eso hay también).

Lo que no termina de transmitirme bien la guía es si es pequeña porque la ciudad tampoco da mucho más de sí, o es sencillamente que aún no les ha dado tiempo a preparar un buen tomo para su publicación. Lo que también me mosquea bastante es que, al ser un documento estático, no muestra los cambios que puede haber por su actual situación sociopolítica, hundida en la miseria económica y llena de refugiados sirios. En algunos pasajes ya te dice que tengas cuidado, me pregunto si en la siguiente edición te recomendarán que lleves armas.

Great little pocket guide for our 1 day visit to Athens. Fit in my bag easily for quick reference as we were walking around.

Excellent pocket guide! I am really impressed with it's contents especially Athens neighbourhoods and local life. I have read my fair share of guide books for upcoming trip to Greece for Athens this has to be ultimate! However having not read every section I have kept it for my journey to Athens, skim reading it has still lived up to my expectation. On the down side this edition is 2016. The prices and restaurants may not be open this in my opinion should not stop you from purchasing pocket guide.

I am now converted that I will soon purchase Lonely Planet Pocket Berlin for another adventure this year. I highly recommend this book.

This was a perfect pocket guide to this busy, bustling city. The pull out map was invaluable.
