Customer Reviews

Great guide, poor binding
I'm reviewing the previous edition (2002) of this book, but apart from local prioes, I don't suppose too much has changed. The book's content and presentation is excellent, amazing value given its prioe.

One star removed because the book comes with the glued-in binding, and not the stitched-in binding used by Lonely Planet. I used my book for about three week, and the spine has already broken in two. For me, the risk of loose pages falling out are enough reason not to buy the book - depends on how long you expect to use the book for.
