Yes; most book stores carry their guides here. Fodor's is another popular brand. Personally, I like the Eyewitness Travel Guides by DK Publishing.

Thanks guys. I am trying to decide whether to grant permission to them to use one of my images for an editorial. I have this thing about 'for profit' organisations expecting shots for free that I spent thousands of dollars (in airfares etc) to take.

I think you, me, and everyone else here would have a problem with that. Most people would get too caught up in the moment though and flattered that someone likes their shot.

Everytime I see one of their travel guides I hear the beat to "Scotty doesn't know" in some way shape or form.

The Eastern European Techno version is probably my favorite.
