Q: Should I buy my lonely planet guide at SYD or AUK?
A: You’re an idiot and should have bought them at home, on Amazon. Never buy a guide at the airport bookstore. For example, take the price of the Shanghai guide…
SYD: $30AUD NZ: $60NZD Amazon: $10 or less, used
If you’ve got a kindle (or iPhone with the kindle app) you can buy one of the inferior but servicable digital versions for about $4, which I just did.
