France for Dummies, Second Edition

Rating:
Summary: Great Book
Review: France for Dummies was an excellent read. This book was very in depth without being too confusing. I recommend this book for anyone who is not "the seasoned traveler." I am traveling to France for a month and I will make sure I keep this book with me at all times for reference.

Summary: Not Dummy Friendly
Review: This book stinks. It lacks entire regions of France. For example, it omits the Dordogne, which is a large, economical for the traveler, region of beautiful countryside replete with prehistoric cave art and medieval castles. There are no photographs. Descriptions of lodgings are few and good budget lodgings nearly nonexistent. Despite having such little information, the book is large, thick, and heavy. This is not a book to carry around with you during your travels. I'm not sure who this book is designed for.
