As a result of our discussion on guidebooks, the following people have sent in their recommendations for guidebooks not on the Beetle’s list. They are:

From Globetrotters webmaster Paul, Sunflower books, based in London, are travel guidebooks with topographical maps for walking and touring in southern Europe, specialising in Mediterranean and Atlantic islands. For more information on titles covered etc, see http://www.sunflowerbooks.co.uk

Tracy from Illinois wrote in to say that she is a pretty big fan of the Rick Steve's Guidebooks, http://www.ricksteves.com. Tracy says: “He only covers Europe and fairly limited on Eastern Europe but I lived by these books for travels to many countries. I like his common sense approach to travel and his recommendations are pretty sound.”

Do you have a favourite guidebook that we haven’t covered, or one that was just terrible? E-mail the Beetle and let us know about it!
