get your magnifying glasses June 1, 2008
sonybalony (Minot, ND)
3 out of 15 found this review helpful
Three reasons for the low rating:
1) there are 272 pages of very very small print. If you buy this book, also buy a magnifying glass.
2) half the pages use a san serif typeface, which makes the reading dreadfully slow going. (Sans serif typeface is the one that does not have the small features called "serifs" at the end of strokes. The conventional wisdom is that serifs help guide the eye along the lines in large blocks of text. Certainly Lonely Planet should know this...)
3) The white pages with black print are slightly easier to read than the green, greenish/beige, black, red or pink pages.
This book is laborious to read. Had I actually seen the book before ordering it online, I never ever would have purchased it. I gave this book two stars rather than one because it does have valuable content.
