The Invention of Memory
by
Simon Loftus

  • Jacket image for Thailand

    Thailand by Insight Guides

    Price: £16.99    Add to Basket
    A photographic guide with good cultural and historical information, it will bring your trip alive. Aimed at a higher-end of the market this guide is more useful as a sightseeing companion than for practical tips on where to stay and how to get around.
  • Jacket image for Vietnam Step-by-Step

    Vietnam Step-by-Step by Insight Guides

    Price: £8.99    Add to Basket
    A photographic guide that is a great companion for sightseeing and for getting excited about your trip beforehand. Strong on the cultural and historical information, but weaker than some on practical help and listings.
  • Jacket image for Scandinavia

    Scandinavia by Insight Guides

    Price: £17.99    Add to Basket
    A lovely introduction to the region, this guide offers interesting essays, splendid photographs and an array of suggested sights and tours. Less practically-minded, however, than the Rough or LP.
  • Jacket image for Norway

    Norway by Insight Guides

    Price: £14.99    Add to Basket
    A weighty and colourful volume best as an enjoyable introduction to all things Norwegian, perfect for pre-trip planning.
  • Jacket image for Iceland Compact

    Iceland Compact by Insight Guides

    Price: £5.99    Add to Basket
    The more practical elements of the full Insight condensed into a handy slender volume.
  • Jacket image for Iceland

    Iceland by Insight Guides

    Price: £16.99    Add to Basket
    A bulky volume full of excellent reading material and inspirational photography - perhaps not the best guide to carry but certainly one to consult pre-trip.
  • Jacket image for Finland Compact

    Finland Compact by Insight Guides

    Price: £4.99    Add to Basket
    More recently updated than its full-size counterpart, this handy slender guide focuses on sightseeing and recommended walks & tours. Plenty of colour photographs throughout.
  • Jacket image for Finland

    Finland by Insight Guides

    Price: £16.99    Add to Basket
    Never intended as a practical companion, the slightly aged nature of this guide does not detract from its lush and inspiring charm, filled as it is with colour photographs and readable introductions to the country.
  • Jacket image for Southwest France

    Southwest France by Insight Guides

    Price: £16.99    Add to Basket
    A glossy, bulky volume that covers a good deal of ground, from the Gironde to Arles and from Biarritz to the Cevennes and beyond. With abundant colour photographs and well-composed chapters on local life, it will give a strong flavour of the region, although it is perhaps lacking somewhat in practical terms.
  • Jacket image for Provence

    Provence by Insight Guides

    Price: £14.99    Add to Basket
    Colourful, packed with photographs and good sightseeing information, with the basics just about covered. The Riviera section here is rather limited as Insight devote a whole volume to it elsewhere.
  • Jacket image for The French Riviera

    The French Riviera by Insight Guides

    Price: £14.99    Add to Basket
    Certain to fill one with pre-trip inspiration, this weighty volume offers plenty to read on local culture and history and is crammed with colour photographs. Once there the sightseeing guidelines are useful enough, but in other practical areas it is perhaps lacking.
  • Jacket image for Belgium

    Belgium by Insight Guides

    Price: £16.99    Add to Basket
    A bulky book full of sumptuous if somewhat dated photography. Introductory chapters make for interesting reading and the sightseeing suggestions are good, though practical information is scarce.
  • Jacket image for Bruges Smart

    Bruges Smart by Insight Guides

    Price: £6.99    Add to Basket
    A good deal of information arranged alphabetically in a way that one either loves or hates: turn to C for Children, M for Monuments, P for Parks and so on. Lots of maps and photgraphs in the usual Insight style.
  • Jacket image for Austria

    Austria by Insight Guides

    Price: £14.99    Add to Basket
    With plenty of colour photographs and readable introductory chapters, Insight guides are ideal for pre-trip inspiration and offer enough sightseeing advice to make them worthy of a place in your backpack.
  • Jacket image for Vienna Compact Guide

    Vienna Compact Guide by Insight Guides

    Price: £5.99    Add to Basket
    A slender guide offering excellent suggested walks and some rudimentary listings too.
  • Jacket image for Salzburg SmartGuide

    Salzburg SmartGuide by Insight Guides

    Price: £6.99    Add to Basket
    Insight's SmartGuides are a new series aiming to fuse the visual brilliance of the original Insights with a the practical information needed on a short break. This Salzburg volume is proof of their success.
  • Jacket image for Switzerland

    Switzerland by Insight Guides

    Price: £14.99    Add to Basket
    Crammed with enough great photographs and interesting introductory reading to inspire any Swiss traveller, though perhaps lacking slightly when it comes to hard facts.
  • Jacket image for Switzerland Pocket Guide

    Switzerland Pocket Guide by Insight Guides

    Price: £7.99    Add to Basket
    A helpful and slender condensed version of the full Insight guide's more practical elements, still rich in colour photography.
  • Jacket image for Romania

    Romania by Insight Guides

    Price: £16.99    Add to Basket
    A colourful and inspiring guide filled with photographs and offering good introductory chapters. Less handy for practical details than its rivals, however.
  • Jacket image for Bulgaria

    Bulgaria by Insight Guides

    Price: £16.99    Add to Basket
    A well-written and colourful guide best for an introduction to Bulgarian history and culture, though less interested in thorough listings.
  • Jacket image for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania

    Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania by Insight Guides

    Price: £15.99    Add to Basket
    Best for lavish photography and well-written introductions, Insight Guides tell you more about what to find than how to find it.
  • Jacket image for Malta

    Malta by Insight Guides

    Price: £14.99    Add to Basket
    Perhaps better viewed as a reference than a guide, this enticing, weighty tome offers fantastic extended chapters on local history and culture, followed by a region by region journey through the finest sights. Sumptious photography gives a real flavour of the island.
  • Jacket image for Barcelona City Guide

    Barcelona City Guide by Insight Guides

    Price: £12.99    Add to Basket
    Newly expanded with more restaurant listings, colour photographs and 'insider tips' on less well known sights to see, this is a very useful and accessible guide to the city.
  • Jacket image for Costa del Sol Pocket Guide

    Costa del Sol Pocket Guide by Insight Guides

    Price: £7.99    Add to Basket
    A handy, informative guide for this popular holiday destination, focussing on sights and going out. Although accommodation listings are very limited, this is, in general, a very useful guide.
  • Jacket image for Portugal

    Portugal by Insight Guides

    Price: £14.99    Add to Basket
    A substantial introduction to the country with a multitude of colour photographs and interesting chapters on Portugese history and culture. Not a nuts-and-bolts practical guide, however, though some listings are offered.
