A guide book is a book for tourists or travelers that provides details about a geographic location, tourist destination, or itinerary. It is the written equivalent of a tour guide. Many travel guides now take the form of travel websites rather than printed books.

It will usually include details such as phone numbers, addresses, prices and reviews of hotels and other lodgings, restaurants, and activities. Maps of varying detail are often included. Sometimes historical and cultural information is also provided. Different guide books may focus on different aspects of travel, from adventure travel to relaxation, or be aimed at travelers with larger or smaller travel budgets, or focus on the particular interests and concerns of certain groups such as sexual orientation or dietary restrictions. Guide books are generally intended to be used in conjunction with actual travel, although simply enjoying a guide book with little or no intention of visiting may be referred to as "armchair tourism".

Is it illegal to produce and self-publish a guide book to a television show?
Q. I am wondering whether or not it is illegal to self publish an unauthorised guide book to a 60s television show or would copyright need to be sought? The guide would feature mainly new information rather than just copying previously written episode summeries etc.

A. You should check the law, a sixties show's copyright may have expired, in the same way that anyone can make and sell Elvis records legally. Besides that, if you contact the producers of the programmme they may be happy to give you permission. They might ask to be shown it before you publish it. Not only this but they may be helpful and provide you with interviews and other material that you wouldn't be able to get elsewhere. There's no harm in asking.

Can someone recommend a good guide book about Nikon D5000?
Q. I'm looking for a guide book for me to optimize my Nikon D5000's features and to understand digital photography better. Thanks!

A. Photographer and author David Busch - - has written a Guide for the D5000. Its worth having. 'Digital SLR Handbook' by John Freeman will also help you. So will these books by Bryan Peterson: 'Understanding Exposure', 'Understanding Shutter Speed' and 'Understanding Photography Field Guide'. These sites will prove helpful: good scource for low-light exposure times. The more you learn about depth of field and how to use it the better your photography will be. There are times when you'll want a minimum depth of field and times when you'll want a maximum depth of field.

A. I used the police test to study for a sheriff test. It worked fine. The tests are pretty much the same. When it will really make a difference is the oral board. I would suggest that you go ahead and study the police study guides for the written exam. It will help. However, to prepare for the oral boards, I suggest doing as many ride alongs with the dept. you are applying for as possible. I was unable to find study guides specifically for Sheriff when I tested, only police. Yes the depts. are different, however, the written tests are the same. I studied police study guide books and got picked up my first time testing!!!
