Title: Lonely Planet or Rick Steve's offer a better guidebook
Product review: After traveling in Europe for four months now, I have used the Let's Go, Lonely Planet, Frommers, and Rick Steves guides. The only thing I really appreciated with the Let's Go books were their colored maps of certain major cities (which you can pick up at any tourist information center without buying the book). Their directions for getting to places were very vague--I couldn't find half of the hostels or restaurants I wanted to go to with this book. In addition, I found some of their smaller maps to place icons of places in completely different locations than where they were located in the city, but they still gave the correct address. Lonely Planet books were much more reliable, and I believe that the Rick Steves' books are the best on the market if you want to actually experience a city and not just it's tourist traps with "We speak english" in every window.
