.Frommer's New England

by: Herbert Bailey Livesey, Paul Karr, Marie Morris, Laura M. Reckford

September 15, 2006
Let's face it; most travel books are a glance-and-go proposition. Most of them do a passable job providing key information, but they aren't exactly a pleasure to read. Frommer's New England 2003 changes all that. Not only are the cititations clear, correct, and complete, many of them are laugh-out-loud funny or wickedly sly. At the end of a busy day on the road, I actually found myself reading the guide for fun (while happily settled in one of the recommended accommodations).A literate guide obviously written by folks in the know.

.Frommer's Vermont, New Hampshire & Maine

by: Paul Karr

July 07, 2006
Frommer's guidebook provides an excellent overview of the sights to see, things to do, and places to stay in the three Northern New England states of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. The overviews are very accurate and provide a good description of the places, making the book an excellent way to decide where to go in the areas, and a good guidebook once you arrive.

The biggest problem with the book is that there is not enough individual descriptions of each area. Chances are most tourists are not visiting several regions in all three states, but are choosing one or two to explore in-depth. For example, I went to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park in Maine, an area that was given around 20 pages of coverage. Therefore, more ... Read More:

.Hostels Ireland, 3rd: The Only Comprehensive, Unofficial, Opinionated Guide

by: Paul Karr

June 01, 2004
The second edition continues in the fine tradition of the first.Ireland, like New Zealand and unlike the UK, has a lot of private backpacker hostels as well as the official Youth Hostels.So a seasoned traveler needs a guide like this and not just the YHA handbook.Commercial Web sites on hostels often rave about the huge "free" breckfasts some may offer, but omit to mention a hostel has no self catering kitchen. So you have the added cost of having to eat dinner out.This book is really good on saying what the catering facilities are like.Places like Dublin, Galway and Belfast have a LOT of hostels and picking one that is not a dud or miles from the pubs is important.This guide sifts through all the hostels of the big cities and gives ...
