The book was a gift so I won't sadly have the opportunity to use and therefore properly review it. However, a quick glance showed it was just what I was looking for and delivery was quick and efficient.

My daughter who recently moved to Sydney asked me to get it for her- its cheaper here- she says it helps her find her way around, the maps are good and its easy to carry and will be good for us to use when we visit next year.

Must Have For Any Traveler
26 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
This book is absolutely perfect for traveling in or around Sydney. Its small size belies its extensive information pertaining to nine major neighborhoods in metropolitan Sydney (City Centre; the Rocks & Circular Quay; Chinatown & Darling Harbour; Inner West; Surry Hills; Kings Cross; Darlinghurst & Around; Paddington & Woollahra; Bondi Bronti & Cooge and Manly). Each of these neighborhoods comes with a readable inset map and descriptions of sights to see as well as places to shop eat and have fun around the given area.
If all of this wasn't enough, the rest of the book contains a brief rundown of Sydney's history and culture as well as things to avoid while in the city.
I will be spending 10 months in Sydney starting in March 2008 and I can tell you that this book will never be far from my person.

Overall I would highly recommend.

Great balance between highlights and off the beaten track
14 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've never been to Sydney and the information in this little book is almost overwhelming. However, I've read the highlights and suggestions and I'm beginning to get a picture of what I'd like to see and do in Sydney. The Lonely Planet guides are for the budget concious traveler, so I like to pair them with something a bit more upscale -- to review and compare. I'm not going to stay in a hostel, but I want to find some low end good eats. And if Lonely Planet says to splurge -- you should definitely consider that! I find this little book is a good balance on what are the "must sees" as well as an idea of where you may want to explore off the beaten track. I like the walking tours. For itineraries (best to do in 3 days, I like Frommer's best.) A great guide for the budget traveler.
