I received this book and the book binding was broken already. The condition of the book is in poor to moderate shape. I am disappointed for the to have been my first experience with Amazon.
Although Eyewitness Travel Guides may offer more visual guidance than other guide books, they are still quite terrible. Maps are difficult to read and information is inconsistent.
I just received this book and I am VERY disappointed. It probably is a very good guide book but the print is so light and small that I am having a terrible time trying to read it. There is no way that I can try to read it while in a car or airplane. Just be aware – it is VERY hard to see the print.
We are planning a trip to Ireland later this year and being the avid researcher that I am, I started reading castoffs from former tourists a few months ago. We tend to steer clear of the beaten path and to explore God’s country and the earth’s natural beauty rather than touring institutions. A good day for us is a sunrise, good food, venturing out on our own driving and walking about as we please, taking hundreds of photos of land and seascapes, visiting with the native folks, and enjoying the sunset. I have 3 reference books, Frommer’s, Lonely Planet and DK Eyewitness Travel (the only new volume we actually purchased). Upon my return I’ll tell you which was the most helpful to suit our needs.
I love the DK Publishing Eyewitness travel guide to Ireland. Having recently traveled to Ireland, I brought it with and found it very timely and useful. It has great information, illustrations (I especially like the 3D perspectives), and photos about Ireland and it’s many points of interest. I really enjoyed the information and suggestions as we drove around the Ring of Kerry and visited the Skellig Islands and West coast this time around. A great travel guide and well worth the price.
