Meh--reads like mostly researched on internet
12. Dezember 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I just got back from a trip to various parts of Victoria, and four days in Melbourne, and I have to say that using this as my exclusive guidebook was a big mistake. If it were not for the Internet, I most likely would have missed out on lots of interesting stuff.
The complaints:
(1) The map of Melbourne covers way too small an area of the city.
(2) There are way to many places in the State of Victoria, including major towns, that are given short shrift, if they are mentioned at all. If you are going to do a guidebook that focuses on one Australian state, IMHO you should have an entry for each town of note (lets say, over 2000 population), but there are many glaring omissions in this book.
(3) Many of the reviews seem superficial, at best. In fact, they seem so superficial and divorced from reality that it seems like the authors just hit Google to see what was what in a given town and cut and paste that into the relevant sections, with certain modifications for the style of LP books.
To be fair, there has been a rather severe and hideous departure from a previous high level of quality for all LP books in recent years, and it seems like the editors have been pushing the authors to cut costs around the board by simply doing internet research instead of actually visiting places for each new edition--it really shows and the new owners of LP (the BBC) should be ashamed of themselves, but it seems that ever since the company was sold to the BBC in 2007 (or 75% of it, anyway), this has been the trend for all of their publications.
After traveling with this book, I would consider it little more (and in many cases, a lot less) than being a conveniently printed and bound compendium of information I could have compiled using Google at home.
One word of advice--do not even read the "Places to stay" section unless you want hostel type accommodation. The "Places To Stay" section is a total joke, worse than a joke--it leaves out the best places to stay almost anywhere. Tripadvisor.com is a much better source of information (and crowd-sourced information, at that) than the LP has been for a good long time.
This will probably be the last LP guidebook I ever buy--it has become a total scam.
