Having moved to Seoul a few months ago I purchased 2 guide books; this one for the city of Seoul and Frommer’s South Korea for everything else in the country. I love this guide book. It identifies the essential highlights of the city so you can avoid spending time on less significant city features. The pictures and the parsimonious text are very beneficial and are spot-on in my opinion for their clarity and their accuracy. Furthermore, the suggested itineraries for all kinds of travelers helps you optimize your time in the city. In addition, the maps of the public transit system and the city streets are handy to use, plastic laminated, and quite durable. And the guide is compact, too making it ideal to slip in your pocket to take with you. Very well laid out in neighborhoods and sectors so you can learn of the best features of the city anywhere you go. Definitely a valuable resource and I highly recommend it. I take it with me every time I go exploring.
Seoul is a huge city, so you need something to help keep you focused during the limited time you’re there. I used the Top 10 Seoul there a few weeks ago when I was in Seoul (during my second time there) so I had a bit of an understanding of what was there, but was amazed at how much there is to do.
The book’s primary strengths are to give you a book that fits neatly in your pocket with halfway decent maps. The book lacks depth, which is fine considering the size.
So the book gets 4 stars – if you’re going to be there for a week or more, then you’d be better off getting a Frommers/Lonely Planet/etc. Also, the Seoul Tourism board has an iPhone app that helps expand upon this book and gives you more information about sites in the book. And it’s free too.
With high-hopes, I went through quite a lot to download the Kindle App, purchase this edition, sync and… Oh my… I swear, I thought I did something terribly wrong. No eBook could possibly be this ugly. Especially not one from my very favorite travel publisher. It is, quit simply, a disaster. Virtually no images, maps (horrible resolution those few that are included). I have to ask… "What happened?" This book is like reading raw computer code.
I want my money back. Don’t waste yours.
I’m sure the paperback is fabulous, as they always are.
