Normal LonelyPlanet guides vs. the new Discover series

2/2/2012 5:04:02 PM

I haven’t purchased any of the new “Discover” series. The fact that the website describes the “New Series” as having “the highlights” and “The Original” as “the definitive guide,” I suspect that they cut out a lot of information to make the Discover series more compact and have more room for photos.

That being said, if you want photos and something that gives you a high-level snapshot of a particular place, the Discover series could be useful. (You can also take a short quiz where Lonely Planet will try to guess which series is better for you – you click the “Find Out” button, provide your name and email, take the quiz, and get a 20% discount code.)

It’s worth noting that if you buy a Discover guide and find it’s lacking some information you really wanted or needed, you can purchase individual chapter PDFs of the guidebooks from Lonely Planet’s online store. They charge $4.95 (USD) per chapter; a little pricey in my opinion, but way better than buying a whole new book if you’re lacking a particular bit of information.
