Reviews

[Carolien · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love these exhaustive travel guides that have so much, more subjective information. The book is infused with the opinions of the writer making it much more readable than regular guide books.
Fun to read in small doses. It was due at the library, no more renewals, but I plan to check it out again to continue my couch trip through Britain.
