A very thoughtful travel guide

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 5, 2022

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I really like this thoughtful little travel guide. It talks of bars, museums, shops and attractions in the city of Austin, Texas, that many visitors might miss or not think to schedule into their itinerary were it not for the grass roots knowledge in this book. I liked that there were helpful ideas for those who are unaccustomed to the heat, with talk of taco stands and the 'weirdness' of Austin, which is, in itself a dot of blue in any otherwise red state, apparently. There was lots of information for the LGBTQI+ community, which really appealed to me.

I especially liked this piece about the Cathedral of Junk:

"You've heard the phrase 'one man's trash is another man's treasure,' and now's your chance to judge if it's true. Using everything from baubles to bike parts, artist Vince Hanneman has created his very own Notre-Dame out of garbage - complete with vaulted passageways and a throne room. And despite some red-blooded residents demanding its removal, city officials have stood by Vince's backyard project since he started it in 1989. (The city only asked Vince to remove broken electronics from the structure, whereupon he promptly set up the Zen Garden of TVs.) It's creative, sustainable, and, dare we say it, a little bit weird. Give Vince a call to set up a visit (note: he doesn't always check his voicemails)."
p 130, Favourite Museums, Arts and Culture, Austin Like a Local

Having spent the majority of my life in the English countryside, I really liked that the independent shops were recommended by name. It struck me as something we couldn't possibly do over here, as so many of our shops close the moment you notice them. A really lovely little book and vital for those looking to visit Austin.

Austin city limits

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 12, 2022

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

Dorling Kindersley have a deserved reputation for their brilliant Eyewitness Travel Guides. Beautifully designed with tons of colour photos, maps and interesting text. I find it hard to believe that this Austin Eyewitness book is from the same company. Nothing visual here except some maps (printed in shades of orange) and a few very basic small graphics. The book is in six chapters: Eat; Drink; Shop; Art and culture; Nightlife; Outdoors and that's it. Does the city have any radio and TV stations, public transport, newspapers and a city magazine, twenty-four-hour supermarkets, taxis etc.

Amazon sells several Austin guidebooks (including a 2013 version of the DK Travel Guides to Austin/San Antonio). I would recommend the Lonely Planet 'Pocket Austin', a proper guidebook in the traditional sense with colour photos, maps and worthwhile text. Far better than this bland-looking, lightweight new style DK city guide.

Luckily, most of the book's contents give addresses so it's possible to see what places look like using Street View.

A bit different but perhaps not completely in a good way

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 10, 2022

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

In a market with loads of options when it comes to travel guides you really do have to try and do something different in order to stand out. These DK eyewitness guides try and do this by helping you visit 'like a local' with the unique selling point being that the guide has been contributed to by people who live in Austin.

Because of this, if you haven't been to the city before and want a general guide to the tourist attractions this won't fit that criteria. Instead it focuses on the shops, restaurants and bars recommended by individuals. The guide itself is a nice hardback without a sleeve so should travel well and is laid out in a clear and easy to understand manner.

If the aim here is to do something a little bit different then DK have definitely succeeded with these guides, producing the kind of recommendations one would usually expect to read on something like a travel blog. Whether that is what you need though is questionable - it depends what you're planning to get out of your trip to Austin.

Informative and well written.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 18, 2022

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

As a streamer, Austin is a place I am looking to visit in the near future as I have a few friends that apply their trade there and it's a great place to irl stream from.

This well-presented, hardback guide to Austen is both well written and informative. It does exactly as described and points the reader in the direction a local would take while offering sound advice and some great ideas for trips and places to visit during your stay.

I'm more than happy to recommend it as it's a great read that has given me plenty of food for thought that I'll be sure to look up during my travels.

Thanks for taking the time to read my short review, I hope you found it helpful.

Informative guide

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 21, 2022

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This guidebook will be handy if you mostly visit a city to eat, shop or go to bars and clubs.

Its pages are full of listings for these, selected by locals and there's a tie-up with the What Three Words app to pinpoint locations, which is a nice touch.

No pictures though, and the maps are orange on orange, so not the easiest to read.

It felt very much a guide for young hipsters and if that's your tribe, this will be a useful book, although would young hipsters use a book and not an app?

And if you are going to mention tacos at every opportunity, do at some point explain what exactly they are, not everyone will know!
