A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

This little darija phrasebook helped me a lot during my trip to Morocco. It has everything what is needed to feel comfortable while travelling solo.

3.5 stars [Phrasebook]
Very useful because it is one of the few published works out concerning the "darija" of Moroccan Maghrebi Arabic. Lonely Planet's phrasebooks in general are in 2nd or 3rd place behind Barron's (and Berlitz's) phrasebooks, but this particular one merits a higher rating: it--perhaps because it was published in 1999--doesn't have any phrases for finding gay bars or getting an abortion. (The former, particularly, might get you killed in a Muslim country, but that doesn't stop Lonely Planet from putting it in the phrasebook in its PC crusade. It does have a few phrases concerning drugs, but that is not out of place for the Moroccan traveler, particularly if he travels in Essouira.) This older Lonely Planet book has some sanity about it.
