• 

  Brittany and Normandy by Lonely Planet

  Price: £13.99    Add to Basket

  This guide to Brittany and Normandy is one of Lonely Planet's new style of regional guides. The focus is very much on tourism rather than 'travelling' and contains plenty of itineraries and ideas for trips.

• 

  Caribbean Islands by Lonely Planet

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  A good comprehensive guide to the Caribbean Islands, including itineraries for each island and plenty of transportation information but not very many maps.

• 

  Central Europe by Lonely Planet

  Price: £18.99    Add to Basket

  For a whistlestop tour of Central Europe the Lonely Planet guide covers all the basics, but skimps a bit on culture and history. Including chapters on Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and Poland, not forgetting the 6 pages dedicated to Leichtenstein, it would be a good space-saving option.

• 

  Eastern Europe by Lonely Planet

  Price: £19.99    Add to Basket

  Lonely Planet's compilation guides are best suited to backpackers with a limited time frame and a full itinerary. It is also worth noting that this one has some cross-over with the Central Europe guide. Ideal for a whistle-stop tour of the cities, with an eye for budget travel and good mapping.

• 

  Hawaii by Lonely Planet

  Price: £15.99    Add to Basket

  Aimed at island-hoppers this guide has a decent amount of information on all the islands (with 120 pages on the Big Island) with a particular focus on outdoors activities and adventure sports.

• 

  Kenya by Lonely Planet

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  A good practical guide for backpackers covering the essentials of the Masai Mara, Central Highlands, Mt Kenya and safari suggestions, this edition includes 85 maps and a fairly strong section on cultural context.

• 

  Morocco by Lonely Planet

  Price: £16.99    Add to Basket

  With the usual Lonely Planet orientation towards low-budget travel this guide has a good section on trekking in the Atlas Mountains but has a fairly limited amount of information on history and culture.

• 

  New Zealand's South Island by Lonely Planet

  Price: £13.99    Add to Basket

  If you are only going to the South Island then this is a cheaper alternative to the Lonely Planet New Zealand guide, however the information and advice is more up to date in this newer edition. Plenty of maps and plenty of information about outdoor activities.
