Book excerpt: For readers who are tired of the promotional fluff and brochure-speak that characterize most travel guides, here's a fresh voice. The Irreverent Guides offer an insider's perspective on each destination, and take a fun, honest look at everything they review. It's not every day you open up a guidebook to find categories such as: -- Most overrated museums -- Weirdest bunch of public statuary -- Bars where you can hear yourself think -- Where the supermodels eat and where they don't -- Eurotrashiest hotels -- Hotels for people who hate conventioneers -- Luscious love nests and lavender lodgings -- Restaurants that don't live up to the hype -- Swingin' supper clubs with attitude The Irreverent Guides give you the lowdown, the inside story. They have nothing to sell but thc truth, which includes a balance of good and bad. They praise, they trash, they weigh, and leave the final decision up to the reader. Our writers take a special pleasure in leading you where other guides fear to tread.
