I thought the format was fabulous for planning holidays. I did think the physical size of the book fitted that need. Clear information, in well laid out space. I wondered if in future editions, of which I'm sure their will be many, perhaps a QR code with access to a digital and accessible summary, of names, of places and people would a boon to readers. This isn't criticism, obviously a note pad and pen will suffice, I thought it just a nice digital touch. 👍

P.S. I never tired of unashamedly using the word 'fabulous' to describe things. A friend once described it as 'Such a gay 70's word'... but it still works, particularly well here... fabulously in fact!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Raymond! A QR code with digital access and an accessible summary is an awesome idea—I'll be sure to bring that to the Lonely Planet team for any future editions. And agreed, I'll never stop using the word 'fabulous' for things!
