 Rick Steve's Great Britian August 29, 2008
How can you go wrong with Rick Steve's? It's just my kind of travel guide

Not a bad book all round. Disappointed there is nothing much about Cornwall though. This is one of the areas we plan to focus on.
Excellent resource! April 4, 2008

Excellent resource for anyone planning a first trip or their 10th trip to the UK. Price wise it's a steal for the wealth of information it contains. In addition to places to see, how to get there, where to stay, eating and entertainment, Rick also includes historical and cultural information to enrich your travel experience.
 decent but not thorough March 5, 2008

I really like this travel guide for the parts of Great Britain it actually covers. But Rick Steve is a bit too opinionated and therefore completely omits parts of the country that aren't his favorites. For example, there is no mention of Oxford, Brighton, Dover, or Canterbury in this book. No offense, Ricky dear, but since Tolkien and Lewis lived in Oxford, I sure as heck am not going to settle for visiting Cambridge!
