I often cut my travel guides to the bone, to keep only the chapters that interest me... I found an alternative to the massacre: download them in PDF, on the Lonely Planet website.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you share this habit with me? Often, instead of taking a complete travel guide in my luggage, I cut up the book to keep only the chapters that interest me. Saves space and weight!<\/p>\n
Fortunately, I found a digital alternative to this massacre: download the chapters. It's called Pick & Mix Chapters<\/a> and it's happening on Lonely Planet's English site.<\/p>\n It works in two clicks, we only pay a few euros for the pages and we save them as a PDF file on his computer. We can then print them.<\/p>\n Of course, you have to be an English speaker, since it exists only in English for the moment. But for me, who is just interested in the South-West of Thailand, for my next trip to the Andaman Sea, it is ideal. As I don't want to buy another guidebook on Thailand, I jumped on this new service!<\/p>\n They are smart, at Lonely Planet ...<\/p>\n I don't have any stock in them, but for my favorite destinations in Southeast Asia, I have always found the Lonely Planet editions better done, more complete and less faulty than the famous Routard. The latter, for example, no longer had a chapter on Sulawesi in its guide Indonesia<\/em> when I was preparing my trip in 2007.<\/p>\n The problem is that Lonely Planet guides (LP) are often very big, very bulky. For Malaysia, in 2006, I had in my bag a piece of Routard just for the east coast of the peninsula, and pieces of the LP corresponding to the east of the peninsula and Borneo. For Sulawesi, in 2007, I just took the corresponding small section in the voluminous LP Indonesia<\/em>. See what's left...<\/p>\n Afterwards, I tinker with glue, Scotch tape, and even drawing clips, to reconstitute a sort of personalized guide. Often, along the way, the pages come apart and escape, as I manipulate them and make them suffer new tortures...<\/p>\n I dematerialized my photos, my music, my videos, without qualms. Long live digital! But now, even if I'm very happy to have my two chapters in PDF, I feel a little twinge of sadness. Because it's not quite the same anymore.<\/p>\n Buying a travel guide, leafing through it, annotating it, and even cutting it up with a cutter, was for me a delicious ritual, full of promises, announcing an imminent departure. A journey before the journey, in short.<\/p>\n With the download of chapters to the card, I lose a little of this pleasure. And I feel, regretfully, the upcoming decline of travel guides in the form of books ...<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude33<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I often cut my travel guides to the bone, to keep only the chapters that interest me...
