The concept store will be operated by Lagardère Services Asia Pacific and is scheduled to open in mid-2009

Travel guide publisher Lonely Planet and retail operator Lagardère Services Asia Pacific have partnered to open the first ever Lonely Planet concept store at Sydney International airport terminal one. The 90sq m (968sq ft) outlet, scheduled to open in mid-2009 and designed by Studio Red, is part of the airport’s A$500m ($475.4m) international terminal redevelopment plan.
Crap... That means that the next time I transit through SYD I'll end up with a 30kg carry-on and a very light wallet. Travel guides are like crack to me, as evidenced by an entire bookcase full of them...
