There are so many guidebook series; how does Rough Guides stand out?

There are many fine books out there. But we think we prioritize a few things that make us better than the rest. First, quality writing; a Rough Guide is not just a good guidebook, it’s a good read as well. Second, a contemporary, journalistic view; a Rough Guide views a destination as more than a tourist never-never land. We treat it as a place where real people live and work and our readers get to participate in that vibe. Finally, updates that matter; we bring new editions out every 2–3 years because our researchers re-visit every place and thoroughly check out new information. And our state-of-the-art publishing process allows us to make amendments and additions right up until press time. When we call it an updated edition, you can be sure it is.
