Advantages: good travel size Disadvantages: can't really think of any
this book isn't very big, which means it is easy and conveniant to carry around with you on the go. i like to buy one for each place a travelto, as they are very handy and make a nice collection. these 'top10' guides cost £6.99, which is what i paid for mine, but you would probably be able to find them cheaper on the internet somewhere.

I noticed on the member centre that Dorling & Kindersley have posted a competition on their books; this truly was an opportunity not to be missed for myself.

Why Top Ten?
I love the top ten guides as it is colourful - there is nothing like pictures to ...
Advantages: Over 900 full coloured photographs and up to date information Disadvantages: Can be heavy to carry around on the trip
