Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The South American Handbook was first produced in the 1920s, and it is a travellers' institution. Traditionally a solid hardback, last year saw the reformatting of the guide into a smarter trade paperback with glossy photographs. The new 2001 edition has consolidated those changes by increasing the range of information about off-beat destinations, and the result is a guide which continues head and shoulders above the opposition.

Most guidebooks which try to cover a land-mass as vast and varied as South America end up as garbled and piecemeal editions which totally fail to do justice to the area and are completely inadequate when it comes to any attraction which is off the beaten track. The Handbook, however, with its long history as a guide to the region, manages to provide an eclectic mix of crucial information. It contains far more detailed listings of key services for the megalopolises than any comparable guide, while retaining its knack of leading the traveller to places which are genuinely remote.

So important is The Handbook among South American travellers that those who use other books are often met with expressions of pity and sadness, and offers of photocopying. This is far and away the leader for guides on the region, and has a position that will be very hard to challenge. If you are packing only one guidebook for your trip to South America, this is the one to take. --Toby Green
