DK Eyewitness Top 10 London

Love this series of travel books. They are a lighter, easier read... top 10 lists, lots of photos, and interesting side notes. But, I really bought it for the great pull-out map! It was so hard to find maps, and this map "came with" a great book! It tucks neatly inside a cover pocket, with additional fold-out maps in the covers, and the whole book fits nicely in a medium-to-large purse or backpack. The map is also coated so it should stand up to use and may even take a dry erase-type pen. I mostly wanted it for planning so I could see the whole city in front of me. But... for real *detailed* info, you might want a Rick Steves-type book, but this series is a great place to get started with the basics.

I adore the laminated pocket maps that DK puts in these guides. This one was fantastic for quickly checking the Tube routes and I used it constantly.The book also pointed out some attractions I hadn't heard of and that added a lot of value.I get one of the DK pocket books for every major trip. This one joins Paris, Rome, Athens, and New York. Highly recommend

Worth every penny

DK's Top 10 Pocket Travel Guides are excellent, and London is no exception. The small size makes it easy to take with you, and the format is highly functional. Well-organized and easy to use. The foldout maps are especially helpful.

Book looked interesting with potentially lots of good information, but who is travelling these days? Older folks who have a hard time seeing smaller print. It was not that clear in the description how small the book and print was! So the maps and much of the Information are basically useless because the font size is so small, really who would do this, making a travel information book with font so small that they can not be ready even with powerful readers!
