This is the classic Lonely Planet guide that we know and love. It's printed in bluescale, packed full of information that is not easily outdated. I look forward to be using this guide as much in the next year as I did last month for my trip to Turkey.
Even as a repeat visitor to Istanbul, I find Lonely Planet Classic guides contain relevant and interesting information visit after visit. I would not hesitate to recommend these classic guides for those interested in any destination in the series.
My only complaint is that while the bluescale print is economical, keeps down the weight of the volume while packing in as much information as physically possible without reducing the print-type to that which needs a magnifying glass, the bluescale has posed problems for some friends and relatives with reduced-vision. A traveling companion has yellow-blue colour blindness and finds reading in bluescale to be tiring to her eyes. An adventurous Aunt is finding anything in printed in "single colour-scale" to be tiring on her eyes from decreasing vision due to age. For those with vision-issues, I would recommend Lonely Planet's Full Colour versions which is an abridged version of this classic guide and contains the same quality of information in a a higher contrast print format.
As to which guide to choose? It would depend on if you prefer the maximum amount of information or if you would prefer something easier on the eyes and need something extra to help get you and your travel companion excited over the activities. Both the classic and the full-colour versions are approximately the same size physical and weight, but obviously the classic bluescale version has slightly thinner and lighter pages per the same volume containing more information.
