Lonely Planet guide books. The largest collection of guides, very popular, but too often followed as a bible. Remember that the research can be 3 to 12 months old before it appears as a book on the shelves. Thus, even the latest edition fresh from the printers can be outdated, especially for the volatile countries we deal with. Check their site for Upgrades on your LP guide.
