- The more you study pub guides, the more you become aware of the existence of black holes. Forget radio
- telescopes, they're there for all to see on pub guide maps. There are some areas that simply never get covered in
- the selective guides. You might imagine that this is because no-one lives there, or it's a terrible, run-down area,
- but having lived in three such black holes, in three different counties, I know this isn't the case. Right now I live
- smack in the middle of a ten mile square that the guides won't touch, yet there are six (count them) decent pubs
- (some excellent) within 10 minutes walk, and plenty more a short car ride away. Attractive though a conspiracy
- theory may be, it does make you wonder if the later arrivals on the scene didn't use the older guides as a way to
- establish which pubs to check out.

- Pub guides have been around a good while now and have matured into very useful travelling companions. If you
- want a single volume, it has to be The Good Pub Guide, but I would be highly tempted to supplement it with one
- or two others: although there's plenty of overlap, each guide has some special gems of its own.
