Robert Asked:
There are so many different fromers travel guides aimed at different groups, Let's Go, Frommers, Thomas Cook, Lonely Planet.. Which ones are meant for which audience?
Reply:
I find that Let's Go and Lonely Planet seem to be more for the younger crowd and Fromers travel is for an older crowd.... not familar with thomas cook though.... another great book for Europe that is good and widely used among everyone is Rick Steves...
As a 26yr old, I prefer the Let's Go, Lonely Planet ones myself.... and for europe, I prefer Rick Steves as he has a lot of information about some really amazing places that aren't too popular plus theres some history to it... and i know he's very familar with the area... some I can trust when traveling.

Reasons i said what i said is as a backpacker, i have seen other people younger than me have the Lets Go and lonely planet books, plus the shoe string one tha ti can think of right now, but the other travelers i met had those books and they were my age or younger.
As rick steves would say
Happy Travels!

I live here, and I strongly recommend the Not For Tourists Guidebook. It will give you a much better idea of how we really live here!
I prefer Time Out guides. I'm not a fan of the Fromers or Lonely Planet guides for NY.
Not for Tourists is good too, but like the names says, it's not for tourists. I find it useful as someone who lives here, but I don't think I'd recommend it to someone just visiting.
