Amazon.com Review:
From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you're going there, chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globetrotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has the experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's 'been there' advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money.

From pub-hopping and leprechaun-chasing to Ogham stones and the Book of Kells, Lonely Planet presents the essential Ireland. In addition to the requisite lowdown on food and accommodations, a detailed activities section covers everything from walking and birdwatching to hang gliding and rock climbing. The book's intriguing 'boxed asides' delve into topics ranging from the mystical to the environmental, including the witch of Kilkenny, the legend of Inishbofin Island, the Birr Observatory and Telescope, even Ireland's disappearing bogs. --Kathryn True

- A charming, opinionated, comprehensive guide.
"Lonely Planet Ireland" was my introduction to the Lonely Planet series of travel books, and my experience with that volume will definitely lead me to seek out Lonely Planet books on other countries. Lonely Planet's team of writers and researchers writes in a breezy, engaging style that addresses readers as equals (too many travel writers, such as the late Temple Fielding, have talked down to readers). The book is exhaustively comprehensive, covering just about every town, village and point of interest throughout Ireland, and the writers aren't shy in giving their honest, at times bristling opinions when they think something is a tourist trap (i.e. referring to Dublin's popular Temple Bar area as "Temple Barf"). In any case, their descriptions of the places I visited and the hotels I stayed in were absolutely dead-on, and I give the guide high marks for steering me correctly in every instance.
