Here’s what the critics say about Frommer’s:
“A major publishing challenge for any travel guide is keeping it up to date, and when
travelers pick up one on a destination as big as Australia, they want to know that
what the writers are giving them is accurate....Australian-based writers, including
Brisbane-based Lee Mylne, are on the ball.”
—Courier Mail
“Detailed, accurate, and easy-to-read information for all price ranges.”
—Glamour Magazine
“Hotel information is close to encyclopedic.”
—Des Moines Sunday Register
“Frommer’s Guides have a way of giving you a real feel for a place.”
—Knight Ridder Newspapers
