DK Eyewitness Great Britain

There are so many guide books for traveling in countries around the world it can be very confusing on just what book to depend on. ( I find it easier to page through a book rather than through computer screens when planning a trip.) Over the years I have settled on two books. One is the DK collection because of its extensive coverage, both in text as well as photos, of a country. It is well organized with a country broken down into colored sections. Pages are then color coded so you can quickly find the section you need. There are also chapters on where to stay, where to eat and entertainment although I don’t always use them. The survival guide section covers things like banking and local currency with great pictures of the currency so no surprises. Although I still fumble around a good bit if paying for something in cash. By the way, the other guide book I use along with DK is from Rick Steves.

These books should be treated with the same reverence as a religious text. You want to know what to see and do and how to spend your life in Great Britain, then look no further! This is the book. Behold, Genesis!

An accurate and thorough guide. I especially like the way some towns/streets are drawn in 3-d style, which make is VERY easy to identify where you are.

Love these books. Are very informative and contain a lot of info and pictures.

I got this book as a standard useful guide for trips at home around the country to places I've never been before. It has been great at offering some insights into areas i have never been before and there are some lovely illustrations and pictures that bring everything to life. As with any guide book for a place you live though you can easily see how simple they have to keep it when you read about an area you know well however. This doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the guide book or its usefulness though, so i would still recommend it highly!
