I've used the Eyewitness guides before and I am quite pleased with them. They provide excellent guidance for the areas covered. In this case I haven't gone on my Croatia trip yet, but will in two weeks, so I am not yet able to compare the guide with real life experience but I have read it and, as usual, the information in comprehensive and inviting.
While the book was very informative, it was published in 2003. I would like to have had more up-to-date information.
We have just used this guide on our annual family holiday to Croatia. It is expensive, out-of-date, and worse, its coverage of the subject of 'Where to Stay' is misleading in the extrem. important information is completely missing.
Get yourself a copy of the Rough Guide, owned by the same publishing conglomerate Viking Penguin. Apparently the author cannot even do a cut and paste job from a stable mate book!
Or dump the lot and use LONELY PLANET CROATIA, that's my best advice.
To the publishers DK, I say PRETTY PICTURES ARE NOT ENOUGH.
