This review is from: Fodor's Great Britain 2004 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

We've traveled with Fodor's books before and generally been pleased, but we were very disappointed with this edition, which we purchased in April for a trip in August. We found it terribly out of date. Exits to cities from the highway were mismarked, hours to key attractions in London and Edinburgh were wrong, and pretty much the price of every attraction was 15-20% above what was listed in the book. It appeared to me that the authors made no effort to update this version from previous years'. Next time we'll use a Frommer's or look for a locally-written guide.
