4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource!, 25 Feb 2009

By	sankyu (Portsmouth, Hamphire) - See all my reviews

I bought this guide as I am travelling to Califronia and wanted to plan as much of my trip in advance so I don't miss anything... Having read the reviews of the Lonely Planet guide I opted for this Rough Guide and I'm glad I did.

The information given covers the usual tourist traps and also off the ebaten track things to see. The maps are clear, and I expect I'll be using these rather than the road atlas!

The only thing I would like to see more of in this guide are pictures - the pictures are quite limited and not at all up to the Lonely Planet standard.

Overall, this is a great guide and I would recommend it to anyone travelling to California.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very comprehensive, but..., 9 Jun 2009

By	sam155 (Gloucestershire) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This guidebook is extremely thorough, well researched and current. However, I found it hard to read in places as there is page after page of small print, unbroken by pictures, photos or maps. When you just want a quick check on something, you often have to plough through three solid pages of text about everything until you get to the simple answer to the simple fact you were looking up. There are a few glossy photos, but they are grouped together in sets of say, four pages, and miles away from the bits they illustrate.

Research wise, I can't fault it, but its heavy going and not easy to dip in and out of.

4.0 out of 5 stars good information and easy to read, 13 Jul 2009

By	P. Cottom "petercottom" (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this in advance of a trip to California, and found it useful in preparing an itinerary. I found it easy to read, presented in a logical order and containing a lot of useful information for the visitor who wants to do something more than stay in LA visitng the well-known sights and trying to spot the rich and famous (yawn).

However, if you want to get around and see as much as possible, I would not just rely in one book - you could miss something and be disappointed. I used this in conjunction with Fodor, had a great time, want go back and recommend this book.
