 Amalfi coast coverage laughable June 29, 2008
While the Naples section is more than adequate, Sorrento and south is woefully lacking. Little more than blurbs. Inexcusable considering the amazing beauty and power and history the area once had.
 LP guide takes a step forward December 22, 2007

If this is indicative of a "new look" Lonely Planet guide, then it is a wonderful step up. I have used LP guides for years, and always found them reliable , informative and occasionally nicely opinionated.
However, there was a format change a couple of years ago I wasn't too pleased about, which somehow rendered the txt less readable for "mature eyes" (lighter print?).
This guide is fabulous. There are colour pics scattered throughout, the layout is attractive and clear, and the information as good as ever. There has been some criticism that LP are now aiming at the "flashpacker" market, and leaving behind the budget traveller. Perhaps. But while appealing to the more experienced independent traveller, there are still the budget sleep and eat recommendations, and lots of info for the younger, party-searching traveller.
The only niggling thing I don't like about LP guides is their maps. They are not street-indexed, and they don't mark all the streets. Don't rely on LP to get you about - you will need a stand-alone map, or if you are an Eyewitness Guide fan, try to fit both in your luggage, as Eyewitness do great maps.
As reliable as ever September 22, 2006

I've always used Lonely Planet's guidebooks when I travel. I used the Amalfi Coast one when I was there this summer. It provided the necessary travel information and the format makes for easy reference. The hotel recommendations are also very helpful.
