Amazing book!, 05 Oct 2008
I bought this book before my second trip to New York. I must admit I thought I knew most of the shops in NY before I read it but boy was I wrong! It is an invaluable guide for both first timers and experienced shoppers. The maps in it are among the best I have seen in any NY guidebook let alone one devoted exclusively to shopping! I would recommend that anyone going to NY buys this book, it is well worth it! Highly Reccomend, 28 Jun 2005
This book is perfect if you are going to newyork for a shopping holiday (have it read before you go. It is easy to read, full of useful hints and tips, bargains, advice, reccomendations and maps. There are shops featured to suit every budget even suggestions for Window shopping The only negatives it may be easier to understand if you have been to NY before and understand the geography. I am visiting for my first time and found the street names and areas a little confusing.

Well worth the money, 03 Jul 2006
This book doesn't have every single bargain spot, but a pretty good selection. With it I have discovered plenty of shops I might not otherwise have done. Some of them were quite eccentric, so I didn't just save money.

What a great little book, 04 Feb 2006
We were in the UK on a touring holiday from the US and couldn’t believe how expensive gas/petrol and food was particularly on the road. Luckily somebody recommended we get a copy of The Great Motorway Secret.......wow we saved a bunch of cash!!!.....go get it!!
Does the job!, 19 Oct 2005
There are quite a number of books offering details of places to visit or gourmet food just off the motorway. But if what you're after is somewhere to have a bite to eat, fill up on petrol and get back on your way, all without feeling like you've been ripped off, then this is the book for you. Excellent!
A must for every glove compartment !, 17 Aug 2005
This book is a great idea. I've already saved more than the price of the book by using its recommended alternatives to motorway services. The book is easy to use and a handy reference that every driver should have in their car.

Unique guide to explore one-of-a-kind shops & restaurants, 19 Jun 2008
This new type of city guide sheds light on the part of London which I never knew, like eateries from Chile, Georgia and Ghana. It also covers well the places known to London connoisseurs like a century-old cafe, best pastry shop, best Indian, Japanese, etc. Shop wise, full of 'dangerous' stuff. I couldn't resist visiting two of them already.
Apparently this is a new addition to the city guide series by a US based publisher. Each city guide contains '90 one-of-a-kind shops or restaurants whose operators are passionate about what they do', according to the newspaper review on the back cover. I like the concept so much that I am tempted to start collecting the entire series. It is a great reading as well as a unique guide. I don't visit US very often (NY occasionally), but they've published one for Paris, so I will go for that one next. Will look forward to seeing more guides for European cities - how about Rome and Barcelona?

Worth buying!, 25 Mar 2006
Having now gone through the process of moving to New Zealand and read all the books, I can say that this is the best to read. The book is well set out with good sections on things like pensions, health, telephones and work. I think that it describes the areas of New Zealand well The description on New Zealand television is true - it really is very bad! The book only skips over the immigration process and that is a good thing. The rules change every year so it is better to go to the New Zealand Immigration Service website for up to date information. My advice to anyone is read this book but if you want to live here for goodness sake come on a holiday first. You need to experience it and I can honestly say it has many benefits but it sure isn't paradise!

freedom, 07 Sep 2006
this and sailing the farm by Ken Neumeyer, are the most valuable books I know, for those who think about living aboard a small sailing boat and jack lagan's barefoot navigator of course.
Invaluable for adding value, 20 May 2003
It truely is amazing how little one can live on. Inspirational to us poorer people who thought that sailing around the world would require years of saving to get on to the seas. Just the sort of book to inspire you to travel from place to place in search of a bargain or to try something that has been missing from your lifestyle for a while. I now have no further excuses for delaying my departure and enjoyment of that millionaire lifestyle I've been promising myself.
Danger. This is an addictive book., 02 Dec 2001
Annie and Pete Hill expound their philosphy on life and put it into practice. They live happily on a pittance. For those seriously thinking of embarking on a voyage it gives down to earth detail on how to cope with life on board along with all the tricks about making life comfortable - like how to store fresh fruit and veg for 6 months!
This book pulls!, 19 Nov 2001
Annie Hill's book of "Voyaging on a Small Income" is brilliant. Wannabee sailors must now re-examine exactly what is holding them back, because it is clear from Annie's book that a lack of funds doesn't cut the mustard. An excellent read, particularly the first section on the £200 millionaire!
A very dangerous book!, 10 Aug 1999
I have a now very dog eared copy of this book and feel obliged to warn you of its dangerous and seditious content! If you have modest assets and a hankering to be 'out there' in the wide blue then read this book. If you don't then give it all up and go for it then I would suggest you never will. Annie gives good solid advice on the whole range of issues, the boat, the equipment, the rationale, the funds, the food, etc., that you will need to get grips with and consider if you want to achieve the blue water lifestyle. The book is written in a delightful style that refuses to patronise the reader or baffle them with Salty Sea Dog terminology. To further the message, Weston Martyr's passage 'The £200 Pound Millionaire' is reprinted within the book (this passage's power should not be underestimated, it inspired Peter Pye and many other notable voyagers to go for it). To compound the books impact a range of line drawings of cheap to build boats are reproduced at the back. Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous book!! Me? Well I'm working on it, which is why my name does not appear at the top of this review. I have decided to dump the whole shoddy deal and get a life. Who needs potloads of money and a secure pension plan when there is no time to enjoy it until you're half dead and knackered after a lifetime of work? If my boss knew.... You'll know I've made it when my boat, 'The Fullomyth', is featured in Yachting Monthly's 'Blue Water Letter', one day..... one day soon.

The best travel book ever., 03 Dec 2004
Whilst Lonely Planet Guides - and their various knock-offs - tell you the basics of travelling to the places you think you'd like to go to, DP tells you all about the places you really don't want to go to, what to do when you get there, and how to come back in one piece. Written by a motley collection of adventurers and war correspondents (who have a terrifying attrition rate - at least two contributors to previous editions are now dead) DP is not only a guide book to war zones and danger, but also an excellent grounding in the geopolitical realities of how those places got like that, and a guidebook to surviving the travails and difficulties of being a western traveller in the Thrid World.
Where else would you find chapters on how to survive being kidnapped by Columbian drug barons, bribing thrid world police offers, and how to avoid landmines? Even the list of things to take travelling with you differs from teh usual advice - along with the same old/same old tips on travelling light and taking torches and waterproofs, you're advised to take gifts for the people you meet - cigarettes, and a large supply of cheap watches.
As travel advice, it's excellent. As a geopolitical primer, it's the best single book I've ever read. As a book of stories of people travelling to places and meeting people you'd never want to, it's great fun. What reason is there not to own a copy? I'll be sending copies to many of my friends this Christmas.
Fantastic, 24 Apr 2000
With this book I was able to plan a trip to Chechnya that was incredible. Sure, it was dangerous, but Fielding's plus some common sense and you can have a lot of fun and learn a lot of things, even in a place of immeasurable suffering. While I may not be ready for Sierra Leone yet, I have been to Bosnia and it's not too bad. It will be even better when they remove all of the landmines that were planted there during the war. Buy this book and forget Hawaii or Europe this year: go to Congo!
Dangerous Places is an Accurate Book, 07 Sep 1999
As a frequent traveller and retired Army officer, I find that Mr. Pelton and his co-authors are very accurate in their descriptions and observations of the countries and places in this book. As a traveller to Africa, the Philippines, the Pacific rim, Eastern Europe, Mexico, and South and Central America, I find the book to be accurate in every sense. It also offers valuable geo-political lessons about the world. To the Amazon web editor: It would be a good thing if Amazon removed the duplicate set of comments by our opinionated, close-minded friend from South Africa. It sounds as if the writer has some agenda against the book, which is too bad. It is a disservice to a great book.
A splendid book for the cautious traveller, 12 Jul 1999
A splendid book if you want to see and know the place that you are going to. A "must-own" book for the traveller who want to really examine his place.Buy it as fast as you can.
Great Vacation Guide, 24 Jun 1999
We use this book to plan most of our vacations. This book is a "must own" for all adventurous travelers and it's also a good book for the armchair travelers. I keep one copy with me almost all the time and the other copy stays on the coffee table as a conversation piece. I wish they would hurry up and publish the 4th edition.

I am visiting for my first time and found the street names and areas a little confusing.
must have book, 20 Jul 2006
This book is not just an excellent guide to london for the tourist and londoner but a beautiful book of photography and images
Well worth the money, 03 Jul 2006
This book doesn't have every single bargain spot, but a pretty good selection. With it I have discovered plenty of shops I might not otherwise have done. Some of them were quite eccentric, so I didn't just save money.
What a great little book, 04 Feb 2006
We were in the UK on a touring holiday from the US and couldn’t believe how expensive gas/petrol and food was particularly on the road. Luckily somebody recommended we get a copy of The Great Motorway Secret.......wow we saved a bunch of cash!!!.....go get it!!
Does the job!, 19 Oct 2005
There are quite a number of books offering details of places to visit or gourmet food just off the motorway. But if what you're after is somewhere to have a bite to eat, fill up on petrol and get back on your way, all without feeling like you've been ripped off, then this is the book for you. Excellent!
A must for every glove compartment !, 17 Aug 2005
This book is a great idea. I've already saved more than the price of the book by using its recommended alternatives to motorway services. The book is easy to use and a handy reference that every driver should have in their car.
Unique guide to explore one-of-a-kind shops & restaurants, 19 Jun 2008
This new type of city guide sheds light on the part of London which I never knew, like eateries from Chile, Georgia and Ghana. It also covers well the places known to London connoisseurs like a century-old cafe, best pastry shop, best Indian, Japanese, etc. Shop wise, full of 'dangerous' stuff. I couldn't resist visiting two of them already.
Apparently this is a new addition to the city guide series by a US based publisher. Each city guide contains '90 one-of-a-kind shops or restaurants whose operators are passionate about what they do', according to the newspaper review on the back cover. I like the concept so much that I am tempted to start collecting the entire series. It is a great reading as well as a unique guide. I don't visit US very often (NY occasionally), but they've published one for Paris, so I will go for that one next. Will look forward to seeing more guides for European cities - how about Rome and Barcelona?
Worth buying!, 25 Mar 2006
Having now gone through the process of moving to New Zealand and read all the books, I can say that this is the best to read. The book is well set out with good sections on things like pensions, health, telephones and work. I think that it describes the areas of New Zealand well The description on New Zealand television is true - it really is very bad! The book only skips over the immigration process and that is a good thing. The rules change every year so it is better to go to the New Zealand Immigration Service website for up to date information. My advice to anyone is read this book but if you want to live here for goodness sake come on a holiday first. You need to experience it and I can honestly say it has many benefits but it sure isn't paradise!
freedom, 07 Sep 2006
this and sailing the farm by Ken Neumeyer, are the most valuable books I know, for those who think about living aboard a small sailing boat and jack lagan's barefoot navigator of course.
Invaluable for adding value, 20 May 2003
It truely is amazing how little one can live on. Inspirational to us poorer people who thought that sailing around the world would require years of saving to get on to the seas. Just the sort of book to inspire you to travel from place to place in search of a bargain or to try something that has been missing from your lifestyle for a while. I now have no further excuses for delaying my departure and enjoyment of that millionaire lifestyle I've been promising myself.
Danger. This is an addictive book., 02 Dec 2001
Annie and Pete Hill expound their philosphy on life and put it into practice. They live happily on a pittance. For those seriously thinking of embarking on a voyage it gives down to earth detail on how to cope with life on board along with all the tricks about making life comfortable - like how to store fresh fruit and veg for 6 months!
This book pulls!, 19 Nov 2001
Annie Hill's book of "Voyaging on a Small Income" is brilliant. Wannabee sailors must now re-examine exactly what is holding them back, because it is clear from Annie's book that a lack of funds doesn't cut the mustard. An excellent read, particularly the first section on the £200 millionaire!
A very dangerous book!, 10 Aug 1999
I have a now very dog eared copy of this book and feel obliged to warn you of its dangerous and seditious content! If you have modest assets and a hankering to be 'out there' in the wide blue then read this book. If you don't then give it all up and go for it then I would suggest you never will. Annie gives good solid advice on the whole range of issues, the boat, the equipment, the rationale, the funds, the food, etc., that you will need to get grips with and consider if you want to achieve the blue water lifestyle. The book is written in a delightful style that refuses to patronise the reader or baffle them with Salty Sea Dog terminology. To further the message, Weston Martyr's passage 'The £200 Pound Millionaire' is reprinted within the book (this passage's power should not be underestimated, it inspired Peter Pye and many other notable voyagers to go for it). To compound the books impact a range of line drawings of cheap to build boats are reproduced at the back. Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous book!! Me? Well I'm working on it, which is why my name does not appear at the top of this review. I have decided to dump the whole shoddy deal and get a life. Who needs potloads of money and a secure pension plan when there is no time to enjoy it until you're half dead and knackered after a lifetime of work? If my boss knew.... You'll know I've made it when my boat, 'The Fullomyth', is featured in Yachting Monthly's 'Blue Water Letter', one day..... one day soon.
The best travel book ever., 03 Dec 2004
Whilst Lonely Planet Guides - and their various knock-offs - tell you the basics of travelling to the places you think you'd like to go to, DP tells you all about the places you really don't want to go to, what to do when you get there, and how to come back in one piece. Written by a motley collection of adventurers and war correspondents (who have a terrifying attrition rate - at least two contributors to previous editions are now dead) DP is not only a guide book to war zones and danger, but also an excellent grounding in the geopolitical realities of how those places got like that, and a guidebook to surviving the travails and difficulties of being a western traveller in the Thrid World.
Where else would you find chapters on how to survive being kidnapped by Columbian drug barons, bribing thrid world police offers, and how to avoid landmines? Even the list of things to take travelling with you differs from teh usual advice - along with the same old/same old tips on travelling light and taking torches and waterproofs, you're advised to take gifts for the people you meet - cigarettes, and a large supply of cheap watches.
As travel advice, it's excellent. As a geopolitical primer, it's the best single book I've ever read. As a book of stories of people travelling to places and meeting people you'd never want to, it's great fun. What reason is there not to own a copy? I'll be sending copies to many of my friends this Christmas.
Fantastic, 24 Apr 2000
With this book I was able to plan a trip to Chechnya that was incredible. Sure, it was dangerous, but Fielding's plus some common sense and you can have a lot of fun and learn a lot of things, even in a place of immeasurable suffering. While I may not be ready for Sierra Leone yet, I have been to Bosnia and it's not too bad. It will be even better when they remove all of the landmines that were planted there during the war. Buy this book and forget Hawaii or Europe this year: go to Congo!
Dangerous Places is an Accurate Book, 07 Sep 1999
As a frequent traveller and retired Army officer, I find that Mr. Pelton and his co-authors are very accurate in their descriptions and observations of the countries and places in this book. As a traveller to Africa, the Philippines, the Pacific rim, Eastern Europe, Mexico, and South and Central America, I find the book to be accurate in every sense. It also offers valuable geo-political lessons about the world. To the Amazon web editor: It would be a good thing if Amazon removed the duplicate set of comments by our opinionated, close-minded friend from South Africa. It sounds as if the writer has some agenda against the book, which is too bad. It is a disservice to a great book.
A splendid book for the cautious traveller, 12 Jul 1999
A splendid book if you want to see and know the place that you are going to. A "must-own" book for the traveller who want to really examine his place.Buy it as fast as you can.
Great Vacation Guide, 24 Jun 1999
We use this book to plan most of our vacations. This book is a "must own" for all adventurous travelers and it's also a good book for the armchair travelers. I keep one copy with me almost all the time and the other copy stays on the coffee table as a conversation piece. I wish they would hurry up and publish the 4th edition.
get it, 16 Aug 1999
The previous criticism is nitpicking; I'm going to London to teach some courses for American students, and I found lots of neat information here, not only about museum contents related to my classes, but also info on sites for my wife and 13 year old daughter to explore. true, thre is no index, but the book is so short, compact, readable, that you don't need one. Just do what i did: highlight the sites you want to see; it'll take you under an hour; you can do it on the plane!
A good idea, but poor execution, 31 Oct 1998
This book is loaded with quite a few free things to do in London, England. Indeed, they seem to be good suggestions. However, the book lacks an index, which makes it hard to revisit interesting ideas (what page is the Sikorski museum on?). Also, the book offers only the briefest of blurbs about each of the sites it suggests. This means that it is hard to tell what you are going to actually see.
