Bantam's New York City [antikvár]

How can you be sure you choose the best guidebook for your needs? Fifty years ago the number of guidebooks available for any one destination could be counted on one or two fin-gers. Many destinations had no guidebook at all. The choice was simple. If a guide existed, that was the one you bought.Today the decision is not so simple. Somé destinations have more than one hundred different guidebooks written about them. They cater to all tastes and all needs. Quality runs from excellent to poor. How, then, do you choose? The ques-tion is best answered by asking another question: How can a guidebook help you? At the very least it should: 1. Help you plan your trip, and 2. Help you make choices during that trip. Surprisingly, many guidebooks fail at one or both of these minimai requirements.Not surprisingly (or else I wouldn't be writing this), Ban-tam does both of these jobs extremely well. And we do a lot more, too. We know that today's traveler is much more so-phisticated than the traveler of fifty years ago. Today's traveler wants specificslike how much it costs at a certain hotel or restaurant. Merely to say that a place is in the moderate rangé, as many guidebooks do, is not enough.
