Maui Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook (Maui Revealed)
by Andrew Doughty
Amazon Price: $11.53


Customer Review: This is a great book and very popular. It seemed most people doing driving tours around the island had one. They also have them for sale on Maui but it is best to buy ahead of time and mark up the things you want to go see. There is so much to go and do in Maui, I was shocked. We didn’t get to se…

Frommer’s Italy 2010 (Frommer’s Color Complete Guides)
by Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince
Amazon Price: $17.15


Customer Review:

With around 960 pages this book is almost encyclopedic in its coverage of Italy. I personally prefer books that limit themselves to a city or region, like Florence or Tuscany, but this tome tries to give heavier weight to the big destinations while covering all the little towns and coa…

 

The Sweet Life in Paris: Delicious Adventures in the World’s Most Glorious – …
by David Lebovitz
Amazon Price: $16.47


Customer Review: This is a riot- a quirky, personal and evocative look at Parisian culture through the eyes of an American pastry chef gone French. David Lebovitz calls it as he sees it, with a carefully controlled cynicism that is wrapped in humor, a veritable puff pastry for the mind…He also shares a number of …

 

Frommer’s Paris 2010 (Frommer’s Color Complete Guides)
by Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince
Amazon Price: $13.59


Customer Review: I love Paris. You probably do, too… or you are about to. I mention this, because I think anyone who loves Paris is bound to have their biases and preferences… along with the feeling that no guide book can reasonably express how to experience Paris. So it is. (If it were up to me, probably 70…

Frommer’s Costa Rica 2010 (Frommer’s Color Complete Guides)
by Eliot Greenspan
Amazon Price: $14.95


Customer Review: This guide book does a poor job at featuring the lower end lodges. The bus information was helpful in San Jose and the common phases section was helpful too. If you are traveling on a budget and plan on staying in youth hostels, I would not recommend this guide book.

Happy Travels
