 More pictures needed July 10, 2008
I review the updated copy of this each year and think they could have put more maps and photos in. Also, they tend to highlight the well known restaurants and not the local places, which I always thing are the hidden jewels in each country. Otherwise it's a great book.
 Good book April 4, 2008

I used Frommer's and Fodor's both for my recent Ireland trip. I think Frommer's had better detail about sights, for example more accurate times when the sites were open. I usually check the book out of the library and if I really like it then I buy it. I probably used Frommer's more on my vacation because I like the way it is written more but Fodor's had some info that was not in Frommer's and it is interesting to see what attractions they rate well compared to Frommer's. If both books like an attraction then you know it is going to be worth the trip! I really like to deeply research my vacation location so I enjoyed reading both books.
