rough guide to english folk in World Music (May 2022)

Reviews

A 5 star book all the way except for the too tiny print and too small to see easily maps. An e-book is included with this book and perhaps there you can use your fingers change the contents to a readable size. I haven’t tried it yet but might.

Other than those drawbacks I thought that this was a helpful and informative and interesting book.

I liked the history that is included.

Whether or not I get to England it was fun reading about places I’d read about in books and places people I know (living in or visiting England) have been to and talked about and sometimes shared photos.

The eating recommendations in these books are rarely of any use to me. Occasionally a veg*n restaurant is listed but it’s rare. I can’t use these books for food suggestions. In a perfect world vegans would write these books and list vegan places. Instead of books I make use of personal and vegan society/groups recommendations and https://www.happycow.net/ and its app.
I hope that I get to the UK but I don’t feel quite as badly that I struggle to plan and make an itinerary. I signed up for these emails (https://uktravelplanning.com/) and no wonder I find it challenging. Wow! Their advice is overwhelming with multiple steps but I’ll bet trips would be better if following at least some of their advice. I’m getting nearly daily emails from them chock full of tips and other information.

I’ve been reading many guidebooks about the UK. This is the last one I plan to read unless/until I make specific plans for an upcoming trip.

I need at least a year in the UK. Five years would be better. I need at least a month in London. A year would be better.

4-1/2 stars

This guide concentrates on the 'sites', which it does well. Unlike some of its competitors, there's little coverage of shops, restaurants or hotels. A separate street plan and index of the centre, plus a subway plan, covered with a rain-proof material, is housed in a wallet at the back of the book: this is a very useful feature.
