Michelin Green Guides - accept no substitutes!,
By J Waterwoman (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Michelin the Green Guide Belgium/Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Michelin Green Guides) (Paperback)
We have numerous guides for Belgium (because we live here) and there's nothing like the Michelin guide. It's the only one that really delves into the details of the architecture and history of the many fantastic buildings here, and it provides thoughtful and well-planned circuits for tourism. It's for the visitor who really wants to know the when-who-whys of what they see. (But you can't plan your light-hearted shopping visits with this book. You'll need a second guidebook for that.)
Too bad they switched to these new 'updated' book covers. The old ones had more class!

Classic Michelin,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Michelin Green Guide Belgium (Michelin Green Guides) (Vinyl Bound)
I just received my copy, but I have not yet used it while traveling.
It looks like this 2007 edition is up to the standards of the classic green guides, dense with cultural information, printed on fine quality paper, and in a wonderful format easy for toting along and reading on a train. However, it's not vinyl bound as Amazon's listing states...it appears to be a paperback (which is what Michelin's own site admits to). It's just fine for traveling, but while other companies are moving to plasticized bindings that are water proof and wear well after being shoved into backpacks and backpockets, Michelin seems to have taken a small step back. Don't misundertand, the quality of binding is excellent, it would just be a little bit more excellent if the cover were really vinyl. Also, no map is included (as they did with green guides in the old days), but that's not a big loss given the many small but fine maps inside. This book is a pleasure to hold and read.
