Great travel guide

I bought this exact lonely planet guide for a friend a year ago and now I need it myself, it's great! It's very practical, it allows you to be prepared, it's easy to read and it makes travel so much easier. (I'm hooked; each time I travel I get the lonely planet guide for where I'm travelling to first).

Didn't receive it

This was sent via USPS and I never received it! I urgently needed it. I would've thought that Amazon would've used a shipping company that requires a signature at least!
