Travel guides have certainly come a long way in the last decade and one really gets one's money's worth in terms of interesting background information illustrated with good colour photos. On a recent short visit to Istanbul this one from Dorling Kindersley not only proved a valuable aid to getting around but, once home again, its excellent pictures and snippets enabled us to vividly 'recollect in tranquillity' so many of the things we had seen.
