Negative Positive
Title: No Depth
Review: On occasion, in the past, I have learned a couple of good tips from Steve's pbs programs for safe travel, but I have found his travel guides to be as shallow as his tv programs when it comes to learning about a place. If you simply want to visit a country so you can say "I was there and here are the snap shots to prove it" then Steve is your guide...but if you are interested in learning as much as possible from a guidebook before you go and while you are traveling and really experiencing a place, I much prefer the Rough Guides or the Eyewitness guides. The Rough Guides are particularly good at giving "real inside advice" and good history lessons
