 Mell Mell Post Count: 14863 Msg: #1 25 weeks ago, June 25th 2009 | I have 5 Lonely Planets and 1 Rough Guide. | I used to have around 30 guide books, but I gave some away.  Ali Ali Watters Post Count: 3913 Msg: #2 25 weeks ago, June 25th 2009 | Similar number to you Mel - plus a few specialist ones on certain areas. Unfortunately my books are scattered world wide. | I must have owned about 30 and swapped out on the road though. Mell Mell Post Count: 14863 Msg: #3 25 weeks ago, June 25th 2009 | Oh, I forgot to count my blue list Lonely Planet book. That makes 6 Lonely Planets in my posession at the moment. |  Jo Trouble Jo McCarthy Post Count: 3141 Msg: #4 25 weeks ago, June 25th 2009 | Only 4 here currently :-) | A couple I'll always keep (countries I know I'll return to), but the others I've inherited or swapped at hostels - and will probably trade/give away.  His Dudeness Ralf Kreuze Post Count: 140 Msg: #5 25 weeks ago, June 26th 2009 | 21 LP's, one rough guide and one travel guidebook from my parents time in 1968 called Golden Guides... I have that one because I find it interesting to see what they wrote about in those days... And they have some countries in it that don't exist anymore (S. Vietnam for instance and Portuguese Timor, which still exists of course but not as a colony)... I only gave one LP away, that was my China one back in 1993... Since that time I like to keep my old LP's for memories sake, I always write things in them and so on... |  Stuart Stuart Morgan Hurlbut Post Count: 119 Msg: #6 25 weeks ago, June 27th 2009 | At the moment I have none although I have two chapters from different Lonely Planet Guides as PDF files on my netbook computer which I downloaded from the Lonely Planet site. I must have owned dozens over the years but I have got into the habit now of only downloading chapters from the books when I need them. It keeps the weight down in my backpack although I admit it isn't as easy to read a guidebook on my computer as it is to read a paper book. | system TravelBlog System User Post Count: 952 Msg: #7 24 weeks ago, July 7th 2009 | 1 posts moved to this new topic: Travel Guidebooks |  Forget 9 to 5 Frankwah Post Count: 26 Msg: #8 23 weeks ago, July 11th 2009 | I'm about to move house so mine are all packed away and can't be exactly counted, but there were enough to fill a box on their own! I can't bring myself to throw any, just in case I want to go back somewhere one day - although they'll probably be way too out of date by then. I also borrow loads from the library all the time to stop me buying every title ever published! |  Code99 Ward Bounds Post Count: 14 Msg: #9 21 weeks ago, July 23rd 2009 | I probably have around 30-40 | Number of Users: 8 | Number of Posts: 9 | |||||||||||||||||
