[.ca] National Geographic Traveler: Great Britain (ISBN 0792274253)

visuals are great:
the visuals are excellent and the book inspired us recently as we drove thru scotland and made our itenuary as we were driving. the hotels and places to eat sections is poor and cannot compare to FROMMERS, FODORS or especially LONELY PLANET. this book should be used in addition to one of the above.

Great Pictures:
This guide offers little concrete information regarding history, train/bus/car routes, nothing on hostels, and very little on prices, other than the occasional "Great Britain is expensive". The pictures, however, are wonderful, and incline one to be far more likely to visit a sight than the dreary pages upon pages of description found in other guides. In short, helpful for visualizing Great Britain, but not much else.
