.The Hudson Valley Book: A Complete Guide (Great Destinations) City Travel Guides > Books > Great Destinations by: Evelyn Kanter 2003-06 Although this book is packed with lots of information, it is not organized in a way that is helpful to some one (like me) who is planning a drive through the Hudson Valley. Information on a given location is scattered through several chapters making it difficult to find places one would like to visit. For example, let's say you are passing through Red Hook and would like to know what's worth doing there. You have to consult five separate chapters on Lodging, Food, Arts, Mansions, and Shopping and look for Red Hook in each of these. For the traveler, it would be much better to have all this info collected under each location. This is an excellent reference book, but if you are planning a trip, find ...

.The Coast of Maine Book: A Complete Guide, Fifth Edition (A Great Destinations Guide) City Travel Guides > Books > Great Destinations by: Nancy English 2002-06 I bought this book to help me plan my first trip to Maine. I plan to return it tomorrow. The majority of this book is lists of hotels and restaurants. There are lots of activities and sights listed as well. The problem is that the author does not distinguish between any of them. Every place is just listed with a short description. It is impossible for someone like me, who has never been to Maine, to determine which parts of Maine I should visit and what I should do while I'm there. I am a frequent traveller, and I have never seen a worse tour book. >>See More Reviews & Details on The Coast of Maine Book: A Complete Guide, Fifth Edition (A Great Destinations Guide) |

.The Nantucket Book: A Complete Guide, Second Edition (A Great Destinations Guide) City Travel Guides > Books > Great Destinations by: Betty Lowry 2001-04 THE NANTUCKET BOOK is one good read! There are well-researched chapters on the Island's history, and culture. Did you know that Nantucket has more toally preserved buildings in the National Register of Historic Places than Boston, Salem, or Plymouth? And that it was a refuge for escaping slaves and free blacks after slavery on the island was abolished in 1770? The book is also chucked full of lodging, eating, shopping, environmental, and recreational information. I used it to plan my summer vacation. But its a great read for armchair travelers too. >>See More Reviews & Details on The Nantucket Book: A Complete Guide, Second Edition (A Great Destinations Guide) |

.The Napa & Sonoma Book: A Complete Guide, Sixth Edition (A Great Destinations Guide) City Travel Guides > Books > Great Destinations by: Timothy Fish, Peg Melnik 2002-03 This guide is admirably broad and deep. In fact, if you are MOVING to Napa County or Sonoma County, then this book will help you with all manner of stuff: finding cinemas, performing arts centers, beaches, etc. However, if you are going to Wine Country for the first time, and only for a few days, I don't think this book will serve as a good introduction because it presupposes--in my judgment--that the reader already has an understanding of wine-tasting, wine culture, and Northern California vacationing in general. Another knock is that I find that the reviews of restaurants and inns are unsurprising, gentle, and middle-of-the-road. On the other hand, this is the RICHEST and BROADEST-REACHING of the four guide books ...
