I'm a big fan of Lonely Planet (LP) guides and have relied on them for countless trips. I didn't even flick through this one before buying it for an upcoming trip. I am very disappointed. I found the organisation of the information confusing and annoying (accommodation section at the back so you have to flick back and forth to regional sections). It seemed both dumbed down (in terms of the information) and overly complicated (in terms of organisation). Much less visually appealing than most of my LP collection - I don't like the apparently random use of red/black titles/subtitles or the fact that subtitles sometimes give necessary information but more often are lame/distracting bits of info. I'll have to look elsewhere for a good guide to Brittany, and I'll be looking more carefully before buying LPs in the future.

Not had to use this yet, so still to see what happens when we get to Brittany. I've been a long time buyer of Lonely Planet guides but this one is a new format and seems to contain far less information eg only a few accommodation options in the larger towns. Finding accommodation in France isn't going to be beyond my wit, but having a few choices gives a good indication of prices. The pages are thicker paper and the information more spread out. If they were going to include less information then I'd have preferred they squashed it up and used thin pages so that the guide itself weighed less.

What do you want from a guidebook?
Something that makes planning your trip easier. Provides reliable and accessible information. Is well indexed. Handy size and easy to carry. Allows you to get the most out of you visits.
It should contain the sort of information you would want to pass onto a friend who was planning to do the same trip as you after you come back.....
I found this book difficult to use. The maps are disconnected from the content. The paper used is thick with lots of colour pictures making it heavy (we were cycling). There are very few listings of hotels and restaurants. The descriptions of sites to visit are very briefly described.
Having used Lonely Planet guides elsewhere I was disappointed. This one seems to have gone for pictures over content and combined two areas you are unlikely to visit on the same trip.
I didn't get the sense that my friend was giving me useful inside information after his trip....

Just what you'd expect from a Lonely Planet guide!
For me a Lonely Planet guide is like a bible for travelling. Provided a good background and history of a number of places we wished to visit. Read more

Great guide
This was a fantastic guide, well worth the £10 paid for it. We ate at a lot of the recommended restaurants, which were not only delicious but often would have gone unnoticed. Read more

Not as expected
Not used yet for my trip to Brittany, but by the first look (a complete lack of pictures) I am not sure it's gonna be very helpfull. I will revert though after my trip.
