Essential for trip planning! - By: Becci Sharkey, 02 Sep 2007 
I found this guide the best of all the gap year guides, has the best information on flights, counties, tickets etc.. broken down into easy reference tables & pages. It has been indispensable!
Very helpful - By: , 12 Jan 2006 I found this book very helpfulin showing me my options for my coming gap year. I learnt about new opportunities that I have never even known about. A good read.
Poor - By: , 06 Feb 2004 
I am normally a massive fan of Lonely Planet books as I feel that they are usually detailed & informative yet easy to use - this is none of the aforementioned.
Although there is a good guide to useful websites at the back of the book & some useful informaton, the book is very vague on the whole & has a poor layout. There is far too much information on the mundane & it is impossible to plan or even to start to plan a GAP year around the information (or lack of it) that this book provides. One is better advised to buy separate accomodation, city, transport guides etc. You could buy this book for its fairly useful information on expeditions around the world & for ideas about how to go about planning your year but don't expect a big helping hand!
Everything! - By: , 06 Nov 2003 
This small book encompases thousand of gap year plans such as conservation work, travelling & worikingin another country. Not only does it contain possiblilties but also potential restrictions such as the need for visas etc. With contact details for projects this book is essential for anyone planning or even thinking about a gap year. With regions broken down into sections such as an America, an Australia & New Zealand & then a Europe section. This book is fantastic reading simply for ideas!
