Rating: Summary: Good travel book Review: Its not customary for me to address another's review, but I actually find this book very helpful in the times that I have traveled to Mallorca. It is complete with many phone numbers (for ferries, flights, etc) and provides great sections on restaurants and festivals. My only issue with the book is the lack of a historical foundation for the island itself and some more indepth history of the featured monuments.
Rating: Summary: Nearly Useless Review: This is the first and last Rough Guide that I will purchase. One might think that a 272 page book about a fairly small place would be quite thorough. On the contrary, this guide lacked references to some of the best experiences we had on the island. Additionally, the indexing was atrocious (e.g. no entries for boat rental, markets, groceries...I could go on).I don't know what the other guide books are like but even the worst of them are probably better than this one.
