• 

  Athens Encounter by Lonely Planet

  Price: £6.99    Add to Basket

  This pocket guide, which includes a pull-out map, largely bypasses historical Athens in favour of its hip, untapped local spots. Independent travellers will find this an intriguing complement to a wider general guide.

• 

  Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp & Ghent Encounter by Lonely Planet

  Price: £6.99    Add to Basket

  Self-conscious guide that covers a great deal in a short space, and perhaps suffers as a result, particularly as regards Brussels. The pull-out map however is excellent.

• 

  Central Asia Phrasebook by Lonely Planet

  Price: £4.99    Add to Basket

  A useful phrasebook covering a multitude of languages including Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Kazakh and Tajik.

• 

  Swahili Phrasebook by Lonely Planet

  Price: £4.99    Add to Basket

  A pocket-sized phrasebook with helpful grammar section and brief dictionary.

• 

  Bulgaria by Lonely Planet

  Price: £13.99    Add to Basket

  A strong practical guide that leaves no Bulgarian stone unturned, geared towards the budget traveller.

• 

  Pakistan & the Karakoram Highway by Lonely Planet

  Price: £15.99    Add to Basket

  Probably a good guide to support the lack of practical information in the Insight equivalent. Includes approximately 100 pages on the Karakoram Highway and a section on trekking.

•

  An indispensable pocket phrasebook, including 3500-word two-way dictionary.

• 

  Walking in Scotland by Lonely Planet

  Price: £13.99    Add to Basket

  66 walks arranged by region with good notes on how to get there and what to bring. The maps are poor, however, and the directions brief. The Pathfinder, AA or Trailblazer guides are much easier to use.

• 

  Walking in Britain by Lonely Planet

  An excellent walking guide for any standard, including some long distance recommendations. The 51 walks are arranged by region and have all the practical information you will need.

• 

  Ethiopia and Eritrea by Lonely Planet

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  Solid Lonely Planet fare; reliable and with an emphasis on practical detail. A perfectly good guide but having test driven them, we prefer the Bradt.

• 

  Ethiopian Amharic Phrasebook by Lonely Planet

  Price: £4.99    Add to Basket

  Useful - in fact invaluable - phrasebook.

• 

  Turkey by Lonely Planet

  Price: £17.99    Add to Basket

  A standard Travel Survival Kit with very good practical information but somewhat cursory description of the sights. For those not addicted to Lonely Planet, we recommend the Rough Guide as much the better general guide.

• 

  Syria and Lebanon by Lonely Planet

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  Standard recently-updated Lonely Planet that covers the Lebanon as well as Syria, but for the latter the Bradt Guide is much better.

• 

  St Petersburg by Lonely Planet

  Price: £13.50    Add to Basket

  Carefully researched and recently updated. Geared toward the budget traveller, this guide nonetheless contains enough reading material beyond its listings to make a decent companion for any visitor to St Petersburg.
