Personally I prefer Lonely Planet. Sure everyone has one - but it caters to
a wide range of interests; well researched and revised regularly . It is
usually very accurate as to 'how to' and 'when to', tho' prices can be out
of date!


This is true of Australia and NZ (LP is based in Melbourne); less so for
other regions (much of Africa is notoriously out of date). Let's Go has
some more upscale options than LP - more breadth, less depth than LP.
