The guidebook rules

Read any interesting article at Yahoo where a magazine sent three reporters to travel Moscow searching for particular things, accommodation, tourist spots etc. One was armed with a guidebook, the other two had smartphones. In 5 out of 9 tasks the guidebook ruled.

Did you know our libraries stock lots of guidebooks - Great Britain, California, Morocco, Dubai, Cambodia? If you're taking a trip it's worthwhile searching our catalogue to see if we have a guidebook for you. Just do a subject search for your city or country and guidebooks e.g. paris guidebooks. You can now do a search directly from this blog at the top of the sidebar at the right.

If you're interested in reading the full article at Yahoo, read Old Vs New: Guidebook beats smartphones.
