Book Reviews of Lonely Planet China (Country Guide)
Book Review: too big too small
Summary: 2 Stars
the book is too big... China is a big country, there should be a separate book for each region covering it more in depth. Also due to this, the authors have selected a tiny font making it quite hard and unpleasant to read.
The book is also lacking useful hints which I find in the french equivalent "le guide du routard" for french speakers.
Book Review: China
Summary: 3 Stars
Good to get you started but just as China is, the book is also quite hard to navigate, as chapters are focused by Province. Would be good to have a shoestring guide instead. Still, I wouldn't have been without it!! Its quite cumbersome but when in big cities I would cut out the relevant pages and take them alone out and about with me.Book Review: A good overview
Summary: 4 Stars
A good overview for those visiting different cities in China. Information is sufficient for the basic information but nothing in depth, which is expected as it is a book about all of China.
The maps have both english and chinese printed, so this is very convenient for those needing help with directions.

Book Review: Lonely Planet China
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the latest issue of LP China. The section on Tibet is not always up-to-date, spec. restaurant recommendations in Lhasa and Beijing. (We had the worst Peking Duck in Beijing EVER in the restaurant most highly recommended by LP.) The section on the history of Tibet is too skimpy.
