New Zealand (Country Guide)

by: Charles Rawlings-Way, Brett Atkinson, Sarah Bennett, Peter Dragicevich, Errol Hunt
We just got back from weeks in New Zealand! God it was great when the sun was shining, but the South was a bit wet. Anyhow, we bought a Lonely Planet, were given a Rough Guide, and when we got to Auckland we bought an Nz Frenzy. We liked Lonely planet more than Rough Guide, but they both cover almost exactly the same stuff, and neither gives enough details about trails and directions to beaches and waterfalls. The Nz Frenzy book was definitely our favorite to get us to cool spots on the North Island, but it only covers the North and there is no South one, so that was disappointing.

Tramping in New Zealand (Walking)

by: Jim DuFresne
I bought this book about a year ago and I'm not going to NZ until 2010, but I just wanted to get to know the tramps and the areas around them. Once Again, lonely planet delivers a 5* guide. This is an absolute must if you travel to NZ for the sake of tramping.

National Geographic Traveler: New Zealand

I didn't give it 5 stars because the cover was "rubbed" looking, but otherwise beautiful pictures and all. I bought it as a gift for my aunt and uncle who are going on a cruise to australia and new zealand.
