.Living and Working in Canada (Living & Working in Canada)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Graeme Chesters

June 28, 2006
Having recently located from one capital city (London) to another (Ottawa) I can thoroughly recommend this guide to anybody contemplating a similar move. So far (three weeks in Canada and counting) I have not found a topic that I needed advice on that this book could not answer. In fact, I have frequently found that I am perhaps better informed than some of the resident population! The book's style is open and engaging, and where differences between provinces exist they are outlined accurately and succinctly. My only, minor, criticism is that the indexing could be better, but not by much. If you combine this book with one of the better tourist guides I can't see that there would be much you aren't prepared for.

.The Rough Guide to Canada (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Phil Lee, Tim Jepson, Christian Williams, Tania Smith

July 26, 2007
I had the previous version of this book and found it to be a great guide so we will be buying this one as we are going in August. Rough Guide are the best - they cater for people who want to splash out as well as those on a shoestring. I am consistently disappointed with the Lonely Planet books - they don't seem to visit the places they are talking about, reviews of places often don't give any info - e.g. 'the rooms are basic but clean and start at $14'. Rough Guide are the best. Time Out Vancouver is also very good if you want to know really good boutique hotels, restaurants etc, but Time Out guides aren't really all-round guides.

.Alberta / British Columbia Provincial Map
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Rand McNally

Really useful. A large scale map of the region plus city/town maps on reverse - ideal for my fly-drive holiday to the region. Doesn't show roads in national parks though - maybe this is because there aren't any????

.Vancouver and Canadian Rockies (AA Spiral Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Tim Jepson

August 31, 2000
I liked: most of the pictures, the fact it's spiral bound and therefore stays open when you want it to, some of the walks, the attempt at prioritisation of things to do/see, the sections on "do X in Y days" and the fact that it covered the Rockies as well as BC.

I didn't like: the level of detail, which I found poor, the fact that the things to do/places to stay/places to eat sections were landscape while the rest of the book was portrait (and ran over 2 pages which made it confusing to read), the lack of info on routes and driving in Canada. I found my Rough Guide to Canada much more useful and more detailed on BC and the Rockies even though it covered the whole of the country.

Worth getting only if you think "Canada's ... Read More:
