New Lonely Planet book format

Hello,

Lonely Planet has recently reformatted their entire line well established, tried and true travel guides starting in mid 2011.

Personally, the new lay out with larger print, more pictures, graphics, color is just distracting and provides useless information. I have an entire shelf of LP but had to give them up last year because the content was so poor. I now use Footprints.

What is your thought on the new LP format?
