"Information well arranged,. .. maps and illustrations . . . excellent."-Daily News. "The reputation which these guides enjoy in their own country has induced Messrs. Hachette to supply an English edition of some of the volumes. In each of them the descriptive and historical matter is ample. Abundant space and special care have been given to that practical information which, however commonplace and unromantic in itself, is of the first importance to all intending visitors. If they are in doubt as to the simplest and easiest way of getting there, Joanne will advise them, and will tell them the expense of travelling by each of the routes he indicates. When they have got there he will supply them with the fullest particulars as to the means of securing a local habitation, whether in hotel or pension or private village. In fact, there is nothing they can reasonably want to know about, that Joanne has not thought of before them."-Glasgow Herald. [For French Guides see overleaf. |
