Editorial Reviews

Review

Clever info in a concertina-shaped guide that fits in your hand; spikey writing that tells it like it is Tailors in Hong Kong, vintage pens in Tokyo, water limos in Sydney - what more do you want ? --UK Vanity Fair - August 2007

Wafer thin guides for well-heeled label and lounge junkies...highly opinionated, irreverent, and fun, this series squeezes a welter of punchy tips...its recommendations are bang on the money. --Sunday Times - April 29, 2007

For a book that knows how you roll, travel with LUXE.... Prefaced with a to-the-point overview, the gleaned info's presented in pithy restaurant recommendations, clearly described gear hunting itineries, and city-specific loves/loathes... --www.thrillist.com - July 18, 2007

More About the Author

Nine years ago the founder of LUXE City Guides, Grant Thatcher, was at a party in Singapore. He was told that if he were ever to go to Bangkok, then he must be sure to take the several A4 pages that he was now being handed, as they contained the best insider knowledge on the city. Everybody, it seemed, loved this saucy list.

Grant looked at the list. It seemed familiar. It looked exactly like the list he had written for friends before he left Bangkok. Shut up, and get out of here! Dong! It's true. The rest, as they say, is history.

This review is from: LUXE Sydney (7th Edition) (LUXE City Guides) (Pamphlet)

This is the first time I have felt stupid buying a book. This is not even a book; it is a pamphlet, like those you pick up at your doctor's office. A VERY expensive pamphlet. At first I thought it might have a very dense collection of things and places you need to experience in Sydney. Then I started reading it......
It is written in a British version of a "Valley Girl" style of writing, which was slightly annoying. Judging by other books I have read on Sydney, it looks to me like this thing is just a collection of businesses that have sponsored them. The nicest hotels in town are not even mentioned in it. If you buy this book you are just as big an idiot as I was.
