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. Tourist guide also may focus on , from adventure travel to relaxation, or be aimed at travellers with larger or smaller travel budgets, or focus on the particular interests and concerns of certain groups, such as lesbian and gay singles or couples. Guide books are generally intended to be used in conjunction with actual travel, although simply enjoying a guide book with no intention of visiting may be referred to as "armchair tourism".

On the other hand, for academic purposes 'Guide Book' stands for any special brief reference, in details explanations, exercises, questions collections from the previous exams and points based discussion on any topics. In many countries its also treated as reference books. 'Guide Book' contents may be similar to Text Book on few aspects like quotations or annotations. Sometimes it explains any portion of a paragraph and other complex words that is stated in Text Books. Different guide books may focus on different aspects of the main discussion. Often, 'Guide Book' is published on latest information based on Text Books and Syllabus, it also may contain a brief compilation of all Text Books that are available in the market. In some cases, it also referred as Text Reference or Guide to Reference.

Best Guide Book for International Travel?
Q. I am a young college student and would like to do some international travel. I am in the early planning stages and need a good guide book to get me started. I know there are a bunch of books available, but I want to know which ones you reccomend and which you suggest I stay away from. I have heard that the Lonely Planet Guides are good, but so mainstream, I am hoping for something a little less "commercial" and something more personal and a little less touristy. Thank you in advance for your responses!

A. When you say "international travel," that leaves a lot of questions, such as if you are looking for a part of the world in general. I've never really liked Lonely Planet because I find them to be very "texty." I have two series that I would recommend. Even though they are easily found online, in bookstores, and usually in libraries, I still consider them to be not-quite mainstream: The "Eyewitness Travel" series is one of my favorites. The books have full-color, glossy pages and give just enough information on every subject to be informative but not boring. They will try to provide as much information as possible, even phone numbers, web addresses, and pricing. They are very easy to understand and the photo-rich pages make it a… [cont.]

A. No, there are no Pokemon Platinum guide books online. Putting up a copy of an online guide without the owner's permission is copyright infringement and therefore illegal. If you are having troubles in your game, then you can go to as they have an excellent, extensive Pokemon information and walk-through. Or you can type "Pokemon Platinum Walk-though" into a search engine like Google and Yahoo.
