Format:Paperback
A great guide from Lonely Planet - clear, comprehensive, portable, with colour pictures and plenty of useful practical information. I tried a number of guidebooks but found this one provided the best coverage of the entire region, with enough information on the smaller towns as well as the big cities. It has all the features readers expect from Lonely Planet, including reliable information on transport, accommodation, sights, activities, restaurants, health, and dangers. Given the size and content of the area it covers, it is very reasonably sized and can be carried around.

The Lonely Planet publications seem to have deteriorated over the years.
Maybe it is because of competition by Trip Advisor, but the accommodation recommendations are inadequate in both number of locations and details of them. LP failed to assist in finding hotels in any area I visited.
The maps in this book are not particularly helpful, as the scales seem either too big (covering an insufficient area) or too small (insufficient detail). In particular, few maps display all the hotels, restaurants and important locations, or even all the major road names. Then the small-area large-scale maps are presented almost at random, with no indication where they fit together. Boston was particularly frustrating as it was impossible to see where the maps referred to, and there was no plan of the metro, or anything about parking arrangements. What is needed at the start of each section is a map covering the full area, with the page numbers of where to find the large scale maps.
Worst of all, the overall layout has changed and it has become very difficult to find useful information, such as public or private transport, outlines of tourist spots to visit, and the background to the areas that were once so valuable to the traveller.
Disappointing.
