Title: They've sold out...
Product review: (review of the 2010 edition of Ecuador/Galapagos)In the past, I've flitted between Lonely Planet, Blue Moon, and Footprint guides. Thanks to this guide, I will not buy any more Footprint guides.Why? First, who makes a travel guide a hardback??? It makes it very difficult to tear out the parts of the book that you want to take with you, as there are invariable parts of the guide you don't need for the trip & who wants to carry that extra weight?The second reason, and the one I'm most upset about, is the abundance of ads throughout. On the opening endsheets alone, 3 different ads. Throughout the guide, there are more. If I wanted a commercial guide, I would have selected the more popular Michelin or Frommer's. But I wanted something with independent feedback and information. Footprint guides no longer do so. I'll be sticking with Blue Moon and Lonely Planet in the future.
