1. Walker is as good a photographer as she is a writer. If you love the Romantics, England, or even long hikes, you will appreciate this book's depth & enjoy it's adventurous spirit; I know I did!

1. Very beautiful. Probably won't use the post cards since the pictures are so great. May even frame a few of them.

1. I found this book to be an excellent account of travel and history in 18th and 19th century New Hampshire and a great record of travel and life during that period. Well written and informative. A must read for anyone studying that era. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get a sense of American life during this time period.

1 comments about Charles Campion's London Restaurant Guide 2008: Over 400 Great Places to Eat (Charles Campion's Restaurant Guides).

1. I do not find this guide as comprehensive as Zagat's. It is also bigger and won't fit in a purse as easily. While many restaurants are covered, it does not have some 'classics' such as Wilton's on Jeremyn Street. That's just one example. However, each restaurant is given a page with lot's of information.
   But I don't think it's worth the price.

2 comments about Hanging Out in England.

1. The newest edition in Frommer's "Hanging Out" series of guides, Hanging Out In England, has finally hit the stands, featuring descriptive and entertaining write-ups on England's hot spots (and not-so-hot spots) by various authors. Sections cover Northern England, London and Southern England.

   Hanging Out In England covers all the ins and outs of backpacking through England. It tells you where to go, how to find the hip crowd once you're there, and where to crash once you've partied and are ready to drop. It delivers on affordable hostels and B&B's, the best places for inexpensive food and drink (fish and chips, mate?), and tips on where and how to chat-up the locals. It is, in essence, a travel guide for the modern vagabond generation, the young and young-at-heart travelers who set off on sojourning escapades with what few possessions they can carry on their shoulders.

   Contributing writers Kristy Apostolides (Northern England), Dominique Herman (London) and Lauren Koch (Southern England) recount the experiences of their journeys with write-ups that are at times irreverent and often entertaining. They have seemingly sought out the nooks and crannies of their respective regions, exposing areas that are rarely seen by tourists. A refreshing departure from the usual stuffiness of "mainstream" travel guides, Hanging Out In England delivers a first-hand and candid report on the great isle nation, exposed in all its brash glory. From Liverpool to Leeds and London to Manchester, from the White Cliffs of Dover to the Scottish boarder, along Hadrian's Wall and centuries old walkways, these authors have done the footwork and come back to deliver a guide for any traveler who wants to venture out on his or her own and experience England the way the locals live it.




2. Is this previous review supposed to be real?!?!
   This was a very good book and was well written, but the people who publish the book should not review it. It's a good guide and a good read, but it makes the people who wrote a very good book look bad. As far as content goes, it's got a knack of making you want to go to the places you read about because they're written in a very loose style that gives you a very real sense place. It's also probably the only guide books where I actually laughed out loud reading it. I recommend it.
