Title: Disappointing - all pictures, no "guide", VERY HEAVY
Review: My fiance and I just went to London and Paris for 10 days and bought the Eyewitness Guides for both. After the first day we didn't bother carrying either one. First and foremost, these are HEAVY - beware, it was a major reason we stopped carrying them. But our biggest gripe was that they simply didn't have that much information. Heaven forbid you want to find a restaurant or a bar near where you are. Good luck with that. And the neighborhood maps covered a tiny area of the actual neighborhoods. The books are wonderfully illustrated and do have really interesting information on the sites they do cover, but it's really limited to the major stuff. These books would serve better as a primer to read before going than something to actually carry around. I will say the pull-out map was useful, particularly the pull-out part.
