Collins Britain and Ireland Handy

The A5 Collins follows a minimalist approach, with 9.9mpi mapping, so it’s only 81 pages long. This makes it feel flimsy, but many buyers won’t care as it costs only £4.99. The key is helpfully located on the back cover, but there aren’t many town close-ups – only 4.5mpi guides to London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester – so the Collins loses out.
