Which travel guide do your recommend of the Rick Steve Books?

I will be going to London and Paris. I think that his books offer me the most for what I am looking for.

I was just gonna get the Paris/London 2006 books from him, but I just found that he also has Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door 2006: The Travel Skills Handbook

Do you have opinions of which would be the best?

You can look at my other open question for more details on what I am looking for.

Thanks

You will have a wonderful time, especially since you've opted to take Rick Steves along.

I have both the Paris and the Travel Skills Handbook. Both are nice, but I suggest getting the separate books on London and Paris. There's more information at your fingertips that way. More detail. The Europe Through The Back Door book is a condensed version.

You could always slip into your nearest bookstore and take a look at each of the books you mentioned and decide from there.

I got a lot of use out of the RS Paris book. The tours of the museums and even Pere Lachaise Cemetery are wonderful. On Rick's web site (www.ricksteves.com), you can download a few Paris tours from the book to iTunes. That was quite helpful in the Louvre.
