Foreign Language Travel Books

[MisterMan]

I know in English that Lonely Planet and Fromers are quiet the popular travel book.

However what do German, French, Swedish and Japanese Speakers use ...

Anyone know what the travel bibles are in other languages?

Thanks

IF ou are in BKK or some place in thald with a lot of travellers/bekpekkers etc simply pop into any 2nd hand bookshop: always in those places and always stocking the whole lot-from years ago.

German/Deutsch; Stefan Loose (orange) and Reise-Know-How. They also do excellent websites+fora in fact-all in german. Amazing how more informative they can be as often the ignorance on this particular site.

Svenska: mainly LP , also in translation, also WILMA (or maybe WIIMA), but boils down to same-same

The major competitor is in French+many south-europe translations: Trotter (le Petit Routard) and something like Le Petit Futë (small escape or so).

Frommer is tipically US/Americano only and is nowadays not even anymore for sale in Europe/new/normal bookshops. Impecunious studentsy-type Americano"s did with lets GO- but thats also vanished from the shelves here.

The JPNese have their dedicated own set, 1 excellent and very wide series is named globetrotter and is renewed every half year or so-for Thailand. IF LP simply bought a contract wit them and translated, 98% of their errors and unupdated mistakes would be gone.
