The Monocle Travel Guide to Singapore: The Monocle Travel Guide Series

Facile reperimento

Without a doubt, the Monocle Travel Guide Series has become my favorite travel publication. Fodors, Frommers, Rick Steves and everyone else should take notice. This is my second Monocle Travel Guide, my first being Hong Kong I used in September. I am impressed with the attention to detail; "Things We Would Buy," essays from locals and visitors, built in book mark and much more. This is the only book you need to plan and experience your travels. A slim decorative hard cover, no need to worry about wear and tear on the guide during your travels. The only recommendation we would make, include a map insert that can be taken out of the book. Lots of great map cross sections, but an overall removable map of the city is the only thing missing. Our travel plans have been made easier with Monocle and no longer a need to carry 4 travel guides and take up valuable space. Highly recommend, Monocle is rewriting the travel world.

Relevant and practical content

.. der im Vergleich zu anderen leider deutlich abfällt: z.T. sehr kleine, schlecht lesbare Schrift (unter 2 mm Schrifthöhe), lesbare Schritfhöhe findet sich nur bei den mehr als 20 Seiten umfassenden "Essays", deretwegen ich mir selbst aber keinen Reiseführer kaufe. Die Bebilderung ist inhaltlich wenig attraktiv bzw. nicht weiterführend. Auf dem Einband steht " it will equip you with the know-how to explore beyond the obvious" - das habe ich leider kaum gefunden.

I love these global city guides. Every Monocle product brings me pleasure + value.
