Frommer's Great Britain

Rating:
Summary: Useless
Review: Having used Frommers before I thought this would be ideal to take to England for 2 weeks...it is the most useless book I have ever used...in fact I left it in England as I would not want to "share" it with anyone...you could do better with a trip to the tourist bureau in every town...poor descriptions, references and index....I was looking for a travel book not a history lesson..

Summary: Informative!
Review: I actually found the book very interesting & informative. Not only are accomodations broken down by price, but the historical references added meaning to our trip.

Summary: Great Book on Britain
Review: We have traveled extensively throughout Europe, using the Frommer Guides written by Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince. We have found that they give excellent advice, and that they are unfailingly reliable and cutting edge. We were particularly excited to find the highlights of Great Britain condensed into one easy guide: England, Scotland and Wales. All the sights, hotels, and restaurants were laid out for you, the best in each category--budget to expensive. Numerous options in various price zones were clearly identifiable. For those who do not have time to go into every nook and cranny of Britain, this is the guide for you. The nuggets have already been found by those who have gone there before you and evaluated the attractions, discarding places and things that are not worth the time and money. We're not interested in seeing every pile of ruins with just a few stones in Britain. We want to taste the cream, and Frommer's Great Britain is a rich and highly readable and usable option. Don't leave home without it!
