This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Sardinia (Paperback)
Very well written book about the island with pictures. The only thing it lacks is current websites for the area. Would like to see more info on La Maddelena.

Small gem from Glossy and Friendly house of publishing,

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Sardinia (Paperback)
If this is your first Eyewitness guide, you will be surprised just how good a travel guide can be. Lots of high quality pictures, and descriptions are detailed and accurate.Those who prefer Rough Guide and Lonely Planet find Eyewitness "too glossy, too nice". True: it is hardly a choice of anti-Capitalist demonstrator, but if you prefer colorful to gray and clean to dirty, you will like it. I agree with the previous reviewer that it could be more up to date and include a few website addresses. I could add that the practical side (hotel and restaurant listings) could have more entries, but of course this takes a lot of research which costs a lot of money. Nevertheless, excellent area and town maps are the best in the business and they alone could justify buying the book. Apart from the things said above, there is little that can be improved.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Just an FYI,

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Sardinia (Paperback)
Regarding the other two reviews, unfortunately the internet has not yet fully arrived in Sardegna, so the book has not left them out so much as there are none.
