Current, but that's the best you can say about it.......2007-06-27

Hard to follow and read, at least after we had used Lonely Planet and Rough guides. Bought this one because it was supposed to be the most current one out there, but was disappointed re coverage, organization of information, and just general usability.

Useful pocket guide.......2006-11-29

Reviewed by Olivera Baumgartner-Jackson for Reader Views (10/06)

It truly warms my heart to see my beloved Ljubljana finally get some recognition and attention. Robin and Jenny McKelvie obviously love and enjoy it a lot, and that is clearly evident from every page of this pocket-sized guide to the capital of Slovenia.

Let me talk about the positives first - I absolutely love the format of the guidebook. It definitely fits in a pocket, and that is a great thing when traveling. I loved the way the content is organized - in clearly defined and well researched sections, covering every aspect of travel.

Starting with the `Context' section, which one should definitely read when getting ready for the trip, the McKelvie's do their utmost best to explain the convoluted history and not too easy to understand present of Ljubljana and its people. The next two sections, `Planning' and `Practicalities' are going to be extremely valuable for all of your planning needs. They are detailed and contain lots of useful information.

The following sections, `Accommodation,' `Eating and Drinking,' and `Entertainment and Nightlife,' plus `Shopping,' list an amazing array of choices for every taste and every budget. Quite a few of my all-time favorites are there and I even found a couple of places that I did not know existed. I'll have to check them out on my next visit home.

The next three sections, `Walking Tour', `Sightseeing' and `Beyond the city' provide a wealth of details on places to visit. They should keep you busy for a while for sure. I also found the last section, `Further information', very useful. It contains information on magazines, books, maps and more and it would be useful for anybody who plans to spend a longer time in Slovenia.

That leaves us with two sections that did not impress me. The first is the `Language' section. While useful, it contains quite a few mistakes. I bet that a person who orders a mushroom soup, but gets a bean soup, will be greatly surprised. And if you really want a horse steak (really a foal steak...), you won't get it if you order it according to the words in this section. There are several misspellings and several totally wrong words, as well as grammatical inconsistencies in this part (jabolka is plural, yet the English version uses apple in the singular form, which should be jabolko etc.) Misspellings and other mistakes are strewn throughout the entire book. I believe it would be advisable to hire a Slovenian proofreader for those parts, and I'd be glad to take that role...

Another section that was a slight disappointment is the photo and map section. There are only four photographs in the book. I'd like to see more of them, since I believe that they would give one a better appreciation of the beauty of Ljubljana. The maps are not very detailed and the transportation map won't be of much use to somebody unfamiliar with the city without marking at least the most important bus stops on the regular map as well.

Overall I found this guidebook useful and well written. The authors are clearly enthusiastic and appreciative of all that Ljubljana has to offer. As to the mistakes, I am certain that they will be corrected in the future editions. This, after all, is only the first edition.

A great book for the Beginner.......1998-05-29

This book, i felt is the best book for the person thinking of getting an APBT it outlines proper care and grooming of these dogs and the fulfillment that can be achieved by taking proper care of your wonderful pets, my only problem was that it didnt outline the temperaments that some of these dogs posess and dangers associated with a dangerous untrained animal. Jacqueline O' Neil did an otherwise excellent job.

You never know how writing for the stage will translate to the page, but the five performance pieces in "Clit Notes" make the move remarkably well. Perhaps because Holly Hughes is a brilliant writer, which you will discover when you read this incredible collection. The hysterically funny "The Well of Horniness",; which my girlfriend remembers almost having to walk out of because she was laughing so hard she was afraid she would pee in her pants, is almost as dangerous when read alone. What might qualify Hughes for genius stature, though, is how she hooks that humor to the most savage truth, as she does in the latter three pieces in the collection about, among other things, her mother, her father, and growing up "middle everything" in America. If any work outlasts our present era, this may be among it.Clit Notes is a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in Drama.

Book Description

Obie Award–winning performance artist and playwright Holly Hughes takes the reader on a personal tour across America with visits to Michigan’s Mystery Spot, the floor of the U.S. Senate, and New York’s WOW Cafe, where notions of theater and femaleness are taken apart and put back together.

Customer Reviews:

Uneven but Good.......2001-12-06

The first play "The Well of Horniness", is an absolute scream. I mean serious, gut-busting, knee-slapping funny. The remaining plays are just okay. "The Well" is so good though, I still recommend the book.

Uneven but Good.......2001-12-06

A Sapphic Serenade.......2000-06-19

Holly Hughes injects liberal amounts of humour in this marvellous collection of anecdotes, monologues and short plays. Sexy, sassy, sometimes silly - but never boring - the reader is treated to tongue-in-cheek stabs at society's indiosyncracies. Delightful!

Had me laughing out loud and made me wish I was a lesbian!.......1997-04-30

Holly Hughes' Clit Notes is an intelligent, moving, and sharply funny collection of monolouges and personal stories. Cutting and in the same turn of phrase totally vulnerable, her work creates the portrait of a new woman of the '90's, an in your face, smart, funny, sensitive, lesbian. Anybody, male or female, gay or not should pick up this book! Highly recommended!!!
