Which Guidebook Is the Best?

What makes a good guide book?

Detail is good, but you should break up your copy. Images or even videos are great for making your guide look better. The best part is they also strengthen the guide's ability to convey information. Many people learn better from seeing things rather than reading them.

Which is better Lonely Planet or Rough guide?

Rough Guides

Much like Lonely Planet, it's a bulky book with fewer pictures than I'd like but, unlike Lonely Planet, its pages are colour-coded and each section starts with an image or two. ... That said; it's the heaviest and most cumbersome book in the test, so is better suited to pre-trip planning.
