The British Time Out guides are always a trip essential: Their expertise is in how to spend your time when you are not in the museum or staring up at a major landmark; the eating/drinking/shopping/arts/entertainment portion of your trip is their forte: music and nightlife, dance clubs or bars, restaurants and shopping, or where to meet/watch people, what to enjoy, their information is invaluable. When the editions are updated it is done thoroughly, really taking the time to add or drop places reviewed and updating the reviews on the places carried over. They didn't just copy and paste a bunch of last year's material, they really work hard to make it current and helpful. I think this type information is very important to the British traveler and the American reader can benefit from their diligence (and sense of humor).
The descriptions of the main attractions and the side/day trips are very good. Although not as pretty and picture heavy as other guide books, if you could only take one guide book for a stay of more than 3 or 4 days, this would be the best choice. Maps in the back are very useable, altogether a really great book.
