Customer Reviews

Missing portions!

Was excited to get this book and sooo disappointed - half of the book is missing and has been shoddily taped together. Unbelievable that someone would think it was ok to send this and charge money for it.

Though marked "As New" sections were cut/removed from this book

I got this travel guide way in advance of our trip, and it was more of a treaser gift than my final guide choice - thank goodness! All of Edinburgh information and that on the Orkney islands had been removed. The rest is useful but I *certainly* do not consider this As New. Be sure to examine such items carefully. I am off to a chain bookstore to compare several books, then I'll order the 2026 guide from a local independent bookstore.
