5.0 out of 5 stars The Old Reliable, September 19, 2000

By	Medan (Asia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Let's Go 2000: India & Nepal: The World's Bestselling Budget Travel Series (Let's Go India and Nepal) (Paperback)

I recently bought Let's Go India Nepal through Amazon because I live in the Philippines, where Lonely Planet is much easier to get. I am sitting in Kathmandu as I write. I have found Let's Go India Nepal to be what I expected. I first bought Let's Go Europe ten years ago, when my work enabled me to travel extensively there. I like the writers' attempts to educate as well as provide interesting things to see and do without spending much money. I later bought Let's Go USA for travel within my own country. It has enabled me to visit similarly educational and inexpensive cultural sites I would not have had time to find on my own. If this approach appeals to you, Let's Go India Nepal will meet your needs. I do not think of myself as "Amero-centric," (although I know plenty of people who are) and am often flattered by questions about whether I am from UK or Europe. Nor did I attend Harvard University, although I have enjoyed walking through many fine bookstores near there. I thought about giving Lonely Planet a try due to their reputation for the Asian countries, but endorsements on the jackets of Lonely Planet and Let's Go Southeast Asia (which I did find in Manila) enabled me to decide. Lonely Planet's endorsement was from Sports Illustrated, while Let's Go's was from The Economist. I'm with Let's Go!

1.0 out of 5 stars Political correctness in India, May 4, 2000

By	Mr. S. J. Cassidy (london,uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Let's Go 2000: India & Nepal: The World's Bestselling Budget Travel Series (Let's Go India and Nepal) (Paperback)

I bought Let's Go and was not impressed. It does not hold a candle to ROUGH GUIDE or Footprint. The practical information is fine but it is written in such a campus political correct fashion which becomes grating after a while. I know they are politically correct in Harvard Yard, but their writing of history is so smug and black and white. It also is ridiculously Amero-centric. They tend to forget that other nations read the book, or they don't care. From now on I will give it a wide berth. ROUGH guide, Footprint and Lonely Planet are not written for one nation in mind - this is why they work so well.
