Product Description
From the publisher of the legendary South American Handbook comes this comprehensive guide to the country with the longest coastline in the Caribbean -- a vast 1,550-mile stretch! But there's more to Venezuela than just sand, as readers of this thoroughly revised third edition will find out. In fact, with attractions ranging from the aforementioned beaches to jagged Andean peaks to the awesome Angel Falls to the colorful hustle and bustle of Caracas, this South American destination has something for every taste. A new-and-improved table of contents and a new front map highlighting the best sights help visitors plan their trip, and full-color maps cross-referenced with the text aid readers in deciding where to stay, eat, and take in the local culture. Sixteen pages of full-color photographs inspire travelers to delve into adventure sports and special-interest activities, from paragliding in the high mountains of Merida in the Andes to island scuba diving on the west coast.

2 out of 46 customers found this reveiw helpful
500 pages, all B&W [not color]; hardcover, but light [~12 oz?], 4.5x7x1. Good intro section, 80 pages. maps are within the book, some full page, some smaller for details of city center, etc. Divided by geographical regions: Lima, 40pgs; North of Lima 40pg; Northern Peru, 70 pg; Arequipa & south, 35 pg; Lake Titicaca area 20 pg; Cusco area [includes Macchu Piccu etc, all the main Inca sites around Cusco] 45 pg; Central highlands 40pg; Amazon area, 30 pg. Travel tips, 25 pgs, good index of topics & maps. "tinted boxes" are little "essays" that are inserted into the flow of the more practical details, which are generally entertaining & informative. They may be as important as a "big picture" discussion of Macchu Picchu, to the fact that Pisac is known for a great place to buy beaded necklaces. I had no interest in the details on accomodations [hotels, eating, etc], as I was on an organized tour; but there are such things in there. also reviewed: Lonely Planet Peru, Rough guide Peru, and Insight guide Peru.

Great Budget Backpacker's Guide
Rating (5)
Date: 2008-06-09
2 out of 2 customers found this reveiw helpful
The Let's Go series is fun and irreverently informative. The Australia guide offers many budget insights and interesting facts about this great country.
I have found that the Let's Go books definitely cater well to the rough backpacker, but if you're faint of heart or looking for any fancy frills, this book is not for you.

It is very useful for traveling, it can be your bible and your guardian angel, and is very updated, the only problem is that you do not have any photos of the places to visit.A "Must Have!!"

Pretty Much for Backpackers Only

The Let's Go books are generally pretty useful but this Australia guide is geared to backpackers. Virtually all of the hotel recommendation are hostel or camps... no options or suggestions for other hotels or price ranges. I haven't gone on the trip yet but I suspect that all the restaurant recommendation are also low budget as well. I bascially have to get another guide book to supplement this one.

I bought the Let's Go Mexico last December and I really liked it. It contains a lot of tips, especially for backpackers. In Mexico everyone had a Loneley Planet, so I thought it must be really good. Despite my good experience with Let's Go, I bought the Lonely Planet for my trips in the USA. And I am really disappointed. The most useful things are the maps which are not the best. It doesn't contain any special tips. The description of the sights is very minimal and doesn't give much insights. On the other hand Let's Go gave me a really good introduction to Mexico, the culture and the people.
Maybe I buy the Let's Go just to compare them, would be interesting.

In preparation for our two-week trip to Wyoming, I purchased this book and read as much as I had time for beforehand. During our trip, I found it to be a handy reference for whatever area we were in (mostly Yellowstone/Grand Tetons). The detail is great and some of our lodging choices and attraction choices were made with reference to the book and it was always accurate. I highly recommend it for those heading to Wyoming.

An outstanding guide to a wonderful state. One book, of course, cannot cover all there is about any area this big, but this book does an outstanding job for Wyoming's history, lodging, attractions, background information, etc.As for any area, it's good to supplement with other specialized topic and / or area guides, but for a general guide to a large state, this one does a great job. Logically arranged, well-written, and very readable, you can almost read it straight through; it's one of the better travel guides available.

Most of the "name brand" travel guides are for fly-by tourists (though I do appreciate Frommer's guides much more than the rest of the big names). Well, if those books are for tourists, then Moon's handbooks (along with Lonely Planet's guides) are for TRAVELERS. And Moon's Wyoming Handbook is, as others here have said, one of their best. It's thick, it's juicy, it's meaty, it's expansive, it's authoritative and wry. So wherever you are in that great big "empty" terrain, it's got some practical information for and historical and cultural insight into places all around.Wyoming has fewer people than any other state (yes, fewer than Rhode Island and Alaska). But it's places of interest are many and varied, though scattered far and wide. You need a good guide and a GOOD READ to cover the miles and the days. I admire author Don Pitcher's efforts here. If you choose one guidebook, make it Moon's Wyoming Handbook. If you'd like to get a second general guide to the region for comparison and cross-reference (including more descriptive listings of selected accommodations), I'd add Frommer's guide to Wyoming, which includes Montana as well.

By far the best guidebook to the entire state of Wyoming, with excellent detailed sections on Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The book, which is superior to some others in the Moon series, is a labor of love by the author for the land, people, and small towns of the state. Pitcher provides great detail on what to see everywhere; colorful local and regional histories; and affectionate, slightly tongue-in-cheek descriptions of small towns. Sure to enhance a visit of any length.
