We had this discussion when it came out. I'm with Ted, IMHO the Haynes one looked and read (had five minutes with a demo copy, so this is not a 100% fair recview) like a BMW/Touratech/other manufacturers advertising in an expensive hard cover. I don't think you can get dirt experience out of a book and the idea you must have a 21-inch front wheel for the dirt and must have over 900cc for the road and must have...... is over simplistic.
To keep the book review thread going I'd give 10/10 to Jupiters Travels and 9/10 to Lois on the loose. Lois only lost a point for not using a Triumph  . Both to me concentrate on the doing more than the having, while AMHB is a good balance and the Haynes book less so.
I've yet to get my hands on Lois in Africa or Dreaming of Jupiter. The less said about Zen and the Art (-15/10, it's self indulgent papp) the better.
I guess a lot of this is about how you take in information.
