About the Author

Christi Daugherty is an expat American. A former journalist, she’s the author of several travel books including Frommer’s Ireland 2010 and Frommer’s Paris Day by Day. She also co-wrote Frommer’s MTV Ireland and Frommer’s MTV Europe. She learned everything she knows about Ireland accidentally, while getting lost repeatedly over the course of many years. She likes to think that she gets lost so you don’t have to. These days she and her husband and co-writer Jack Jewers spend their spare time traveling around Ireland (she drives, he navigates) looking for new places to explore. She spends whatever time is left over writing unpublished mystery novels.

Jack Jewers has directed fi lms for the BBC, reviewed publications for Time Out, and contributed to several guidebooks, including previous editions of Frommer’s Ireland. He also co-wrote Frommer’s Ireland Day by Day. Jack grew up listening to his great aunt’s tales about living in Dublin during the Civil War. She once leaned out of a window during a late-night battle to tell the gunmen to keep the noise down—people were trying to sleep. Born and raised in England, Jack proposed to his Irish-American wife at a spa in County Kerry. She said yes. That spa gets a great review in this book. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Republic of Ireland Travel May 2 2011
By Teresa Pietersen - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A handy guide with some very detailed information.
Plenty of ideas for days out as well as where to eat, how expensive etc.
Comes with a folded map - which is really not detailed enough, you will need an up to date road map.(Irish roads/signs are notoriously confusing.)
I read through the areas I was interested in & took this guide with me to Ireland as a reference point.
It's a bit bulky and heavy but is full of useful info for the traveler.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good content, bad graphics April 1 2012
By J. Sanchez - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very good and detailed content with lots of useful information and tips. There's however a big shortcoming: maps are in low resolution and absolutely unusable on the iPad; too small to be seen in their standard size and too pixelated when enlarged. Frommer's needs to fix this. The book also seems to lack enough pictures of the places. I don't know if this is the same for the printed edition, but a travel guide should have plenty of pictures to give a better idea about the places. The content deserves 5 stars but with the maps low resolution and the scarcity of pictures I have to give it a 3 star.

4.0 out of 5 stars I can always rely on Frommer's Nov 5 2011
By Sue - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Over the years I've consulted various travel guides for Asia, Europe and the Middle East: Lonely Planet, Rick Steves, Let's Go, Fodor's. The Frommer's Guides have always suited me best. FROMMER'S IRELAND 2011 is no exception. I like lots of detail on the history, geology, flora and fauna, literature, art and music of the place I will be visiting, and this guide fit the bill perfectly for my trip to the west of Ireland in July 2011. The enclosed map was nicely coated for all of that Irish rain, which didn't hurt either. I don't really need all of the lodging and dining listings that Frommer's includes in their guides, but can always page past them to soak up the background of each place I visit. So much of the Irish experience relates to a very long and complicated past. For example, in Counties Limerick, Kerry, and Clare, I was surprised to realize that the Famine of the 1840's is not an abstraction, but still very much in the minds of the people who live there today. FROMMER'S IRELAND 2011 prepared me to absorb as much as possible from my all-too-limited trip to Ireland.
