2.0 out of 5 stars Snipits of information with cumbersome organization, April 15, 1998

By A Customer

Baedeker gives the prospective traveler snipits of facts, history and details from Aberdeen to the Yorkshire Dales. The information is superficial and may lack sufficient depth to be substantively helpful to the uninitiated traveler. The information is organized by cities, alphabetically which proves quiet cumbersome as the reader bounces through the pages. If you want to plan a trip to Scotland you will be leafing through all the cited cities in Great Britain, Wales, and Northern Ireland to boot. There is very little information that would help the traveler plan a trip budget. For the novice traveler, the Michelin Travel Series may be more helpful. For the experienced traveler, the lack of depth in Baedeker will be unsatisfactory.
