Cheeky Guide to Brighton, The : Fifth Edition (Cheeky Guides)

The UK's most outrageous guidebook returns with its fifth incarnation, boasting five new chapters, hundreds of photos, illustrations by local artists and a free scratch-and-sniff guide to the best local restaurants. Specialist features by local in this edition include Brighton's Best Greasy Spoons by Radio 4 comedy writer Brian Mitchell and a Brighton Sex Tour by the town's oldest prostitute Letitcia.

As always pubs, clubs, hotels and tourist attractions are amply covered, but with Cheeky Guides being as much about people as places, in this edition you'll find features on local eccentrics, grumpy shopkeepers, moustachioed cads and artists, as well as information on how to spot local celebrities, complete with a point-scoring system that ranges from 1 (Chris Eubank) to 50 (Nick Cave).

A frank look at both the joys and disappointments of the town, The Cheeky Guide says what it sees; from the horrors of Brighton's concrete monstrosity the Marina to the glories of the North Laine's wealth of independent boutiques and the town's flamboyant club scene.
