It just takes a little planning. A few meals out at a 'Fine Dining' place usually means the book has easily paid for itself. (Table 9, Rivington, Ruth's Chris. MJ's, Medzo, Loca, The Ivy are all in there.) Having visitors takes care of that.

That was why I bought it. I had been expecting vistors, but due to the economy, none made it over.

WE tried that this year. Utter fail.

Still, one voucher for golf at the JGE paid for the book.

I've just ordered the fine dining book with the National, what's the other offer Meow? I'd like the family book too

Does anyone know what kind of vouchers are in the travel Entertainer? I didn't know there was a travel one and we are planing a few trips this year so it could also be useful

I posted it on the forum several week ago so it's no longer valid. (It was a 15% discount off the price.)

You should find details of what each book offers on The Entertainer website.

Anyone got the Abu Dhabi one? Has it got some decent places in it this year? Last year it was very Yas-centric which is a shame if you don't happen to live there. Incidentally, LaLaLayla you can also subscribe to the Times and get it delivered to your house.

Update: just checked Meow's link: Chamas is back! Woot.

Just waiting to see if the AD one turns up - during the last stage of the process online the thing crashed but this has happened before with cinema tickets and it did go through. Hoping this does too.
