2.0 out of 5 stars missing key information, 23 Feb 2006
By G. Wilkie (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Rough Guide to California: Includes Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I was really disappointed with this book, as I have had great experience with Rough Guide's to other places in the past.
There's a lot of general observation without the useful information you need as a traveller, eg. it'll tell you that california's a good place to surf but doesn't include any info on where to hire equipment, take lessons etc.
Cross-referencing between maps and restaurants is in places non-existent which is pretty annoying as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource!, 25 Feb 2009
By sankyu (Portsmouth, Hamphire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rough Guide to California (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to Calafornia, Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, 8 April 2000
By A Customer
A very informative guide to Calafornia, Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. This book includes all of the attractions of these areas, useful travel information and accomodation reccomendations.

A must have if you are visiting the areas covered.

The only downside of the Rough Guide being the layout is not as structured as the Lonely Planet Guides. However, this book is devoted to the above areas, a Lonely Planet Guide does not exist specifically for these areas.
