Editorial Reviews

Review
“Brutally Honest Insiders Give You The Straight Scoop So You Don’t Feel Or Look Like A Tourist.” -- The Independent

“For Cutting Edge In A City That Teeters Between Conservative And Revolutionary, This Is The Book To Buy.” -- Toronto Sun

“Sharp Writing And A Thrilling Layout Make It A Guidebook You Can Read From Cover To Cover Without A Yawn.” -- San Francisco Examiner

“This Fledgling Series May Soon Do For Travel Guides What Hitchcock Did For Film.” -- Chicago Tribune

“Whip Smart, Seductively Stylish And Completely Up-To-Date.” -- Consumer Reports

Product Description
Whip smart, stylish and bang up-to-date, the Avant-Guide series is the vanguard of a new generation of guidebooks for travelers who have outgrown backpacks and shoestring budgets, but are too young for hermetically-sealed tour buses.

Avant-Guide books are packed with straightforward reviews from insiders who wouldn't dream of counseling readers to "pack a rain poncho" or "wear comfortable shoes." Each Avant-Guide is comprehensive in scope, detailing museums and neighborhoods as well as stylish hotels, chic shops, and the best restaurants for every budget.

In short, Avant-Guide gives you easy access to the most exciting and stylish facets of the city.

5.0 out of 5 stars Avant-Guide London, January 21, 2000
This guide is perfect for the traveler that wants to get beyond the tourist traps and mundane of London. Geared toward the younger traveler it gives great listings of shopping, lodging and dining(with price estimate). Also included are reviews of several nightclubs which most travel books overlook. A must-have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and honest, July 17, 2001
By S. Fishbein (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A GREAT guidebook for hotel, restaurant, shopping and general sightseeing advice. (Although, you probably want to invest in an additional higher-quality map than included with this book.) The reviews and recommendations were always on-target and honest, never "glossed-over" and lead us to some interesting, wonderful places not included in other guide books.
