"Day by Day" guides have headed the best-seller lists in every year of the past decade, and the reason for their success is that they deal with fast-emerging touristic favorites. Istanbul is the latest example of an immensely-popular new destination. In 184 compact pages profusely illustrated with four-color photos and maps, Frommer's Day by Day Guide to Istanbul takes you to and through the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace (and its harems), the Grand Bazaar (operated since 1460), the many Turkish Baths, and more, while never failing to list the practical choices in lodgings, meals, shops, and other attractions.
Giant, sprawling Bangkok, the most heavily-visited city on earth, is a treasure trove of palaces, museums and Buddhist shrines, superb shopping (for every conceivable product and gift), famous hotels and outstanding restaurants and street food. It also is one of the world’s most difficult cities to navigate, so we employed Mick Shippen, who has lived in and reported on Bangkok for the past decade, to create this innovative book. Combining maps, photos and detailed itineraries it helps visitors plan their time in the most efficient, smart and fun ways possible.
Selling for a lower price than any similar guidebook, and deliberately limited to a short 256 pages, this EasyGuide is an exercise in creating easily-absorbed travel information. It emphasizes the authentic experiences in each destination:the most important attractions, the classic method of approaching a particular destination; the best choices for accommodations and meals; the best ways to maximize the enjoyment of your stay. Because it is "quick to read, light to carry", it is called an "EasyGuide", and reflects Arthur Frommer's lifetime of experience in presenting clear and concise travel advice.
The British Isles are the single most popular trans-Atlantic destination for Americans, and an immense body of book-buyers will be the potential audience for this important new travel guide. It incorporates all the elements that have won best-seller status for Frommer's guidebooks: strong opinions colorfully expressed; up-to-date and recently researched information of all sorts; cost-conscious advice that covers every price range. This far-reaching guide of 600 some-odd pages, takes the visitor to every popular destination in England and Scotland, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bath, Oxford, Liverpool, Manchester, and more–and, of course, London.
Each one of the six main Hawaiian Islands is covered by the experienced authors of this always-popular guidebook to America's paradise in the Pacific.
The book consists of bold opinions, colorfully expressed, by independent, locally-based journalists who are given carte blanche by Frommer's to select what they consider to be the islands' best beaches, attractions, outfitters, restaurants, shops, nightspots and hotels.
Though they review facilities in all price ranges, they emphasize value and give the reader many tips on how to save money, in the Frommer's tradition. Extensively illustrated with four-color photographs, and containing numerous maps.
