new nowra guide badly produced 26-May-2011 At 4:22:09 PM turtlespit

I haven't purchased or looked at the new Nowra guidebook, so my comments aren't specific to it...

Once you've spent cash on a well polished guidebook for an area, you're going to resent having to pay for a less polished production for a different area. It'll do the job of providing you with the information you need, but will also scream 'missed opportunity' in terms of presentation (and probably p*ss you off because of that).

In Australia, it's unlikely that there'll be 2 modern guidebooks for a given area, so you can't even vote with your wallet. Parts of the UK are served by multiple guidebook producers - with the competition resulting in much slicker productions.
