Book Review: Needs to go back to editing
Summary: 3 Stars
I usually am very pleased with Frommer's guides and tend to use them over other sources every time I travel. However, on my recent trip to France, I found some flaws with my copy of Frommer's France 2007.
First off, I have always liked that they include a foldout map with most books, to give you more details than can fit on a small page. However, I'm confused as to why this guide to the whole country came with a foldout map of just Paris! Was this a mistake? I really could have used a map of the whole country, and the only offering in this guide is on pages 28 and 29. It shows only select cities and roads. In addition, it shows each of France's major regions, and it appears to refer you to each section of the book covering that region. Unfortunately, the page numbers are missing (i.e. Burgundy p.)!
I also found a confusing review of the restaurant in one of the hotels in which we were staying. On page 204, the review of the Grand Monarque Best Western says, "The hotel has an old-fashioned, unremarkable restaurant." Facing this review, on page 205, the same restaurant is reviewed, "The best food, and the most upscale dining ambience, in Chartres is now featured by the town's best hotel..." It goes on to describe the wonderful food and atmosphere. Seems there was plenty to "remark" about after all! The restaurant is clearly labeled as being located in the Grand Monarque Best Western. There was only one restaurant in the hotel, so which review didn't get edited out?
After seeing these few flaws, albeit probably due to editing, it makes you wonder if you really have the best source of information for your trip.
