I've always entrusted my travels to Let's Go. Sifted through Lonely Planet and Frommer's and all seem fairly reliable and informative (except for monetary discrepencies which can't be helped because of price changes throughout the year). What sets Let's Go apart from other budget travel books is the excellent writing style. It's witty, whimsical and humorous. As a literature buff, I find myself grinning at how some authors pen their experiences. These folks know how to write! I just wish the portion on Cyclades Islands was more detailed. But I suppose one book can't cover just one part of Greece. Also, can Let's Go change the quality of the paper? It's rough to my touch and hard to keep bent. In addition, I have to lug the book around everywhere and would appreciate a sturdier, more indestructible book. And how about some beautiful color photos like Lonely Planet? Overall, kudos to Let's Go Greece 2000 for the quality of the writing and reliable information.
