I thought this book was pretty good in terms of coverage and would make the perfect gift for foreigner friends or even balikbayans. It also tells you that you can share your own comments and travel stories with Lonely Planet and in the next edition, they will acknowledge you and give you a free copy of the book. Over-all, including more pictures would have helped though.
