Before buying a guidebook you really need to go to the publisher's website and check online to see what the very latest edition is, then look inside the front cover before you buy your book to make sure you have the latest one. <BR/><BR/>I can't tell you how many times Lonely Planet would send us readers letters complaining about something being out-of-date and then we'd realise they were talking about an edition that was two or three editions old, so obviously things will be out of date, but sometimes this doesn't occur to people.Lara Dunstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568159382939703162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024398511254172770.post-35673415105802451862008-08-13T15:39:00.000+04:002008-08-13T15:39:00.000+04:00In some cases I stayed in hotels that received a c...In some cases I stayed in hotels that received a certain review and didn't measure up because the review was outdated.
