 Rating:  - Lonely Planet Guides Print Sizes Are Too SmallI have used LPGs for years, and many travelers like myself are older people. Lately the LPGs font size has gotten very small and really hard to read, probably to save money. Make the fonts readable for older people, even if the product becomes larger and a little more costly.

As an experienced traveler, I can say that overall this book is good. It's hotel suggestions must have been good because they were all full. The maps were very nice. The restaurant suggestions were great. Only a few complaints: It didn't tell us that the castles are closed on Mondays (we found out when we saw the big CLOSED sign on the castle). ... Read More
