| A '''guide book''' is a book for [[tourist]]s or travelers that provides details about a [[geographic location]], [[tourist destination]], or [[itinerary]]. It is the written equivalent of a [[tour guide]]. It will usually include details, such as phone numbers, addresses, prices, and reviews of hotels and other [[lodging]]s, restaurants, and activities. Maps of varying detail are often included. Sometimes historical and cultural information is also provided. Different guide books may focus on different aspects of travel, from [[adventure travel]] to [[relaxation]], or be aimed at travellers with larger or smaller travel [[budget]]s, or focus on the particular interests and concerns of certain groups, such as lesbian and gay singles or couples. Guide books are generally intended to be used in conjunction with actual travel, although simply enjoying a guide book with no intention of visiting may be referred to as "[[armchair tourism]]". | A '''guide book''' is a book for [[tourist]]s or travelers that provides details about a [[geographic location]], [[tourist destination]], or [[itinerary]].
