Lonely Planet, THE only guide for adventure travel!
I have visited 42 countries, mostly "adventure" style and Lonely Planet is THE guide to use! Their books are compact, concise and authoritative. I have often visited countries (usually less developed countries) for months at a time where I take only one carry on bag. As you can imagine I need to have a lot of information at my fingertips in a form that's small, lightweight and full of information. Lonely Planet is that book. It has general information on the country's history, culture, etc... good tips on highlights that you won't want to miss, descriptions of places to visit with precise information on how to get their using public transportation, and great tips (complete with maps) on accomodations, especially of the budget variety. If I were to travel with only one book (which I usually do), it would have to be Lonely Planet. And if I were to take 10 books (Insight Guide, Rick Steves, Foder's, Let's Go, etc.) I would still never be without my Lonely Planet. Too bad there's not a Lonely Planet guide on how to grow old and happy. If they ever print such a book, I'm going to buy it!
