This is a great book for the traveller who doesn't have much time to spend in a country and just wants to see the "highlights" of each city. The author does a fantastic job of setting out a realistic itinerary for each city. We followed the itineraries for Hong Kong, Kyoto, and Chiang Mai with much success. The book is very basic and concentrates on "must-see" places and things (there is a rating system to help you narrow down your choices if you are really time pressed). It's a great guide for the time pressed do-it-yourself traveller. Combine this book with a Lonely Planet guide for your particular country and you've got it made.
