2002-04
I work in a book store,so, believe me, I have had plenty of time to look at travel books and I have to say that these access guides are the best.There are a couple of reasons why. First off, the pages are thicker paper so they wont tear as easily if you are carrying it aound every day and thumbing thru it constantly like i was!! They also color code the listings..green for parks, blue for hotels, you get the idea. As another person said before, its all by area so you can always se whats up where you are..very nice. I highly reccomend it and all the others!!

Do not buy this book. It is incredibly out of date. It also spends too much ink on the tourist traps that are already well known (e.g., 20 pages on Harvard Square, which is increasingly full of chain stores), and gives short shrift to the neighborhoods that are truly up and coming (e.g., one column on Central Square...which is also increasingly full of chain stores :-( ). A big disappointment, since I liked one of the earlier editions so much. I'm not sure what they updated for this edition; they highly recommended a bakery that's been shut down for over six years! Talk about information anxiety....

I am a long-time Boston resident, and I bought this book to loan to my guests from out-of-town. Now i'm going to find a book that ... Read More:

I got this guide after skimming it pretty extensively at a bookstore. I was impressed by the content, the nice user friendly format, and the graphics quality.

When I actually tried to use the information in the guide, however, I was deeply disappointed and angered, because (1) much of the information is hugely outdated even though the guide claims to be updated - for example, a restaurant that has been closed since 2001 is still highlighted in the guide in several places - tells you how dated the "best of" opinions written by local Napa luminaries are... and (2) the author and publisher didn't bother to verify that phone numbers were accurate, so I wound up calling wrong numbers, dead numbers, numbers for business offices ...
