Guide book to England - don't want hotels, restaurants

See also Comparing Guidebook Series. Rick's books are all available in Amazon Kindle, BN Nook, and other e-formats, directly from those usual retailers, so I would want to have the England book (or Great Britain). Michelin Green Guides have good sightseeing info and spend less space on hotels and restaurants. A Michelin or other good driving atlas - is that already in the campervan?

Perhaps its a generational thing ... I don't really like using a cellphone, but I found a single-country eBook from Lonely Planet to be a much inferior experience to the paper original. Lonely Planet paper books are very heavy, but I believe that the e-Switzerland was edited down, and had fewer maps and charts. I used the Kindle edition on an Ipad.

I also like to write notes in the margins of my guidebooks. Finally, (that generational thing) I find that I can "flip" back and find something in a partly physical way, getting there faster than e-Book navigation. Just one opinion.

There's a difference between "culture" and "commerce", but you are missing some tiny slice of contemporary England by ignoring hotels, restaurants, and trains. Restaurant dining can be expensive, but it's more than just recreation for the "1%." On a trip long ago to the Lake District, we had the experience of one day shopping in a new Mall-Anchor supermarket, and another day spending hours walking around a town with a basket on the arm, from butcher to baker, etc. And to our astonishment, a small freezer truck pulled up to our pre-1900 lakeshore rental house and tried to sell us a chain's pre-prepared frozen entrees. That has happened to me in New Jersey, but I never expected to see it in the Lake District.

Modern version of my childhood experience when living in a village on the Essex coast in the 50/60s. A butcher, fishmonger, baker and general grocer all had vans done up as small shops doing house to house sales each week. A fish and chip van visited the village twice a week. The village itself did have three shops and a pub.

Michelin Green Guide for London and/or Great Britain. In depth explanations of sights, minimum (but good) ratings of restaurants & lodging (in their Green Guide Series).
