5.0 out of 5 stars Best all around!!!, November 11, 2001

This review is from: Insight Guide Argentina (Paperback)

I have looked at all the other major books on argentina and out of all of them this is the one book that is complete, tells you what you need to know and moves on.
Most other books are for collage-age youth who want to go and find a bar, cheap hotel and stay up really late. But this is a classy read with beautiful illustrations. This is also coming from someone who is moving to Argentina and knows his stuff so Choose this one and you will not be dissatisfied.

This review is from: Insight Guide Argentina (Paperback)

Very glad to see this book listed here and getting some good feedback from your readers. I just wanted to let you know that my name is NOT Hum Henndessy! (though I do quite like the sound of it and have been called worse things). I'm not expecting you to place these comments on your review page, but please change my name to: Huw Hennessy (project editor of Insight Guide Argentina).

Thanks
