Summary: Not about Ireland
Comment: We are planning a trip to Ireland this summer and I purchased this book because the "Let's Go Ireland" book was over a year old. The "Ireland" portion of this book consists only of a chapter about Northern Ireland and a 14-page chapter about Dublin. I wanted to comment not on the quality of the book, but rather on the misleading way Amazon (or the Publisher) has the book listed. If you are wanting information about Ireland, purchase something else.

Summary: Excellent, lively guide
Comment: For my trip to Scotland, I purchased two guides: this Let's Go Britain guide and the Rough Guide to Scotland, 7th Edition.
This one was much better. I purchased the Rough Guide because the amount of page space in the Let's Go guide that was devoted to Scotland seemed rather small. I was surprised, then, that the Let's Go guide, which smaller, was the much better book.
The pricing information in this book is exact and very accurate. It was very helpful in planning our trip, and let us do much more than we would have if we had been spending all of our money on expensive food and lodgings.
Also appreciated is the editorial nature of the guide. The authors are clearly passionate about their subject, and are open to the realities of travel and especially the limited time that is usually afforded on a trip. I am sure that all of the sites are great in their own way, but when faced with a choice, it is nice to know which one will be more exciting. I found that the opinions in the guide were well-matched to my own, and the exuberance of the descriptions heightened my own excitement.
The logistical information was also top notch, and in combination with the Michelin map, I was never left wondering how I would get from place to place.
Very good guide!
