Decent "pocket" book for Cairo and Luxor
I went to Luxor and Cairo earlier in 2008, and brought this book along with the DK guide and Rough Guide to Egypt. All served their purposes, but none of them stood out as the definitive guide. The Best of Cairo is best as a high-level overview of what there is to see and do in Cairo and Luxor, with a page to two pages on each main subject. It was good enough to keep in a cargo pants pocket, but for more information, I had to refer to the DK or Rough Guide. It's not to say that this is a major downside to the book - it's just that in my experience, the Globetrotter series of books are designed as overviews (hence the name "Best Of".)
If you're heading to Egypt, I wholeheartedly recommend this book, along with Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guides) and the The Rough Guide to Egypt 7 (Rough Guide Travel Guides). All have their uses and you'll come to find that this book will end up in your cargo pants pocket.
