China - Part 2: Book Deal

After flipping through most of the China travel books at the local B&N (Union Square), I end up deciding to order these two from Amazon.com (it was cheaper):


Lonely Planet China - I'm too used to the format. They're pretty much all set up the same way. It's easy to find stuff for me. They also got the 2 days / 3 days itinerary for each city which helps a lot. Also, this book has some random cities we might be in: FuZhou (Simon), GuangZhou (Kingman) and ShenZhen (Me).


Beijing and Shanghai (Eyewitness Travel Guides) - I found this one very useful. It tells me what and why I'll be looking at touristy things instead of just standing there looking at it. It also has pretty pictures and maps.
