For readers who are tired of the promotional fluff and brochure-speak that characterizes most travel guides, heres a fresh voice. The Irreverent Guides offer an insiders look at each destination, and take a fun, honest look at everything they review. Its not every day you open up a guidebook to find categories like: *Most overrated museums *Weirdest bunch of public statuary *Bars where you can hear yourself think *Where the supermodels eat and where they dont *Eurotrashiest hotels *Hotels for people who hate conventioneers *Luscious love nests and lavender lodgings *Restaurants that dont live up to the hype *Swingin supper clubs with attitude The Irreverents give you the lowdown, the inside story. They have nothing to sell but the truth, which includes a balance of good and bad. They praise, they trash, they weigh, and leave the final decision up to the reader. Our writers take a special pleasure in leading you where other guides fear to tread.
