Lonely Planet Writer Admits To Fabricating Guide Book Based On Info From Girlfriend
From Consumerist.com: "Who needs to actually travel in order to write guide books? Not Thomas Kohnstamm.
From Reuters:
He said in one case he had not even visited the country he wrote about.
"They didn't pay me enough to go to Colombia. I wrote the book in San Francisco. I got the information from a chick I was dating — an intern at the Colombian consulate," the newspaper quoted Kohnstamm as saying."
(via consumerist.com)- Always a good idea to get info from more than 1 source.
