Day budget guides Washington D.C. from $80 a Day, Paris from
$95 a Day, etc. Why? Well, mostly because I'm a creature of
habit. I started buying the Frommer's and Let's Go guides years
ago because they focus on budget travel. Let's Go is great for
backpackers and those on a really tight budget. Frommer's is a
bit more mature but still budget-minded (think hotels rather
than hostels), and I like their ''Suggested Itineraries''
section and their maps (Frommer's maps are among the best). But
now that there are so many other guidebooks to choose from, I
buy Frommer's mostly because I can be in and out of the store
in minutes rather than hours and I know I'll come home with a
reliable guide. Then, just this past month, everything changed
. . . I discovered something new . . . You see, when I went to
the bookstore to pick up guidebooks for my upcoming honeymoon,
I got an idea . . . Why not, I thought, buy five different
guidebooks (from five different publishers) and compare them to
find my favorite. So that's what I did. I bought one brand for
each stop and then, on my way out, I saw a little Paris guide
I'd never seen (or heard of) before. So I picked that up too.
(I go to Paris at least once a year so I can never have enough
Paris guidebooks.) Here's what I found . . . and it surprised
me: My favorite book of all for both pre-trip planning and
on-the-ground support is The Little Black Book of Paris. The
other guides I bought are all divided into sections this way:
Where to Stay, Where to Eat, What to Do. But The Little Black
Book of Paris is divided by area. And each area has its own
fold-out map (which, to be honest, blows the Frommer's maps out
of the water). While the guide doesn't have an entire history
or culture section like most of the others do Lonely Planet,
TimeOut, Fodor's, etc. it's well written and there's an
overview of each area at the beginning of each section. I liked
the guide so much I went back to the bookstore to buy more.

The Travel Writer's Life
Best Travel Series of the Year, 2008 ''We
select the Little Black Travel Books as our travel guide series
of the year. The main reasons for designating these guides as
best of the year are their portability and user friendliness.
(The spiral binding allows the reader to keep the book open to
a certain page.) Individual volumes are small enough to fit
into a pocket, but in terms of helpfulness, they are twice
their physical dimensions. The other reason these guides are so
worthy of praise is the fact that each volume has a neat, tidy,
and nicely detailed foldout map to the particular area under
discussion. The chapters in each volume correspond to the
geographical areas into which the authors divide the city for
the tourist. Each chapter gives basics on places to see,
available art, and entertainment venues, places to eat and
drink, where to shop, and where to stay. You can study a range
of guides before your actual trip, but this is definitely a
commendable candidate for carrying with you on site.'' --
