This review is from: Insight Guides Argentina (Insight Guide Argentina) (Paperback)
Unreadable national and regional maps, rambling, garbled prose, pictures with vague or misleading captions, no city maps, and USELESS text are only a few of the reasons not to buy this book!
Text: if they mention a museum is worth visiting, I want the address! Nope, details like that are not found in this book. Instead, you encounter endless run-on sentences with far too many adjectives.
Maps: their choice of color and patterning makes it impossible to tell borders from roads, and highways from country tracks. USELESS.
There are lots and lots of pretty pictures, but most of them have captions like "Autumn splendor" - WHERE? What are you showing me?
The index: again, USELESS is the word that applies. The city I wanted to read about was listed as being mentioned on 3 pages - upon viewing those pages, I found there was nothing at all about the city on 2 of the 3 referenced pages.
