The Bible of Travel,
Lonely Planet, long considered “The Bible” by modest expense oriented travelers, has out done itself with this newly designed version. The color graphics greatly assist the reader. The color maps are easier to read and contain the usual fine detail the Lonely Planet series is known for. Finally adding a TOP Pick is a welcome addition.
Great job and continued thanks to the staff of Lonely Planet for this consistently great product.

Had no problems w/Kindle edition,
I’m not sure why the other reviewer had problems with the Kindle edition. (Perhaps he purchased the PDF version from Lonely Planet instead of the Kindle edition from Amazon, which I agree, does not work well on a Kindle.) All the Kindle links, search, and other functions worked well on my Kindle keyboard. I originally borrowed the book version from the library and purchased the Kindle edition to avoid carrying a book on my trip. Besides not being able to see photos in color, I prefer the Kindle editions due to the search and bookmark functions.
In terms of content, this guide covered all the areas I traveled to (Dublin, Galway, Aran Islands, Cong, and Connemara) and was a great reference throughout the trip, as Lonely Planet guides have always been in my experience.
