Look at this example - the Lonely Planet "Southern Africa" is over 800 pages. I have reduced this to cover the 4 countries we are travelling to - 140 pages!
That is over half a kilo of weight saved! For book lovers like me, it is a wrench to take a craft knife to or use brute strength to pull the pages out but it is worth it. Just tell yourself that the information will be out of date soon enough and you will need to buy an updated version anyway for next time!
The tour operator's itinerary comprised 4 double-sided A4 sheets.I have compressed this, plus flight and other independent travel plans, into 1 double-sided A4 page. Just use the reducing option on your photocopier!
Light travelling!
