More About the Author

My latest book, the Rough Guide to the Titanic, is a definitive guide to the most famous maritime disaster in history.

Read about it on my blog, blogtanic.wordpress.com, and website, roughguidetitanic.com.

For Rough Guides, I've written fourteen travel, history and music books as sole author, and shared authorship on several more.

My photographs have been published in my own titles, and also in magazines, newspapers and other books.

As an editor, I've been responsible for many titles in the Rough Guides series, including commissioning the original guides to India and the USA, and editing the guides to Elvis, Soul and Conspiracy Theories.

I also do freelance writing and editing for other publishers, including various websites and online publications.

Please contact me if you'd like to invite me to talk about the Titanic, to commission me as a writer or editor, or to license my photos, or you have any questions about my books, apps or other work.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST LAS VEGAS BOOK FOR 2011, April 26, 2011

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Las Vegas (Rough Guides) (Paperback)

SINCE THE MID 80'S I HAVE READ 4-5 LAS VEGAS TRAVEL GUIDE BOOKS EACH YEAR. THIS IS THE FIRST ONE I WOULD HAVE WRITTEN MYSELF. IT DESCRIBES THE STRIP CASINOS BY AREA AND DOWNTOWN CASINOS. YOU GET A GOOD GRASP OF THE OVERALL CASINO/RESORT DETAILS. THERE ARE PHOTOS TO HELP GIVE YOU AN IMAGE OF LAS VEGAS. THIS AUTHOR REALLY GIVES YOU MORE THAN JUST COMMON INFORMATION. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE EXTENSIVE COVERAGE OF OUTLYING AREAS AND THE GRAND CANYON TOURS AVAILABLE. THE INFORMATION IS TESTED AND CURRENT. I HIGHLY APPROVE THIS BOOK ABOVE THE OTHER ANNUAL ADDITIONS.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a useful guide for a Vegas traveler..., April 5, 2006

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Las Vegas (Paperback)

I travel frequently to Las Vegas and was given this book as a gift. Had I perused it in a bookstore, I never would have purchased it for myself. Simply put, the book does not have complete information. The best example is the buffet listing, what one would imagine is a necessity for any Vegas newbie, which omits a number of well-known establishments (like the Aladdin!). When you fly into McCarran or arrive at a casino, pick up any of the free, wekkly published booklets instead of this 'guide', they're far superior!
