 Paper guides always go out of date March 6, 2008

I used to be a slave to Time Out city guides but got frustrated after a trip to Prague where several places in my brand new guide were out of business. I have since found out that the writing, subbing, publishing, distribution turnarounds on these sorts of books takes months. If you want the latest information you need to use the internet which can be updated more easily. The Wallpaper* City Guides are great value and easy to carry around, they don't scream "MUG ME I'M A TOURIST!" due to their discreet size. The recommendations are always about aesthetically gorgeous places, so if like me this is what floats your boat, then I recommend these publications. Plus, they look great lined up on your bookshelf.

Wallpaper Guide: you think it will show you some cool bars to go to. I bought it a week before a trip to NY and hoped to visit the cool bars referred to in the book. A frustrating cab journey and 3 closed bars later the book went in the bin (4 of the 6 we tried were no longer in business).
Would be a great little guide if it were up to date. As it stands, poor.
