Great book to throw in your backpack and take with you on the cruise. You can bone up on a bit of the history and it will get some ideas ffor excursions or places to visit on the islands.

.No Man's River
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Farley Mowat

January 05, 2006
It has been a long time since i have enjoyed a book as much as those written by Farley Mowat. His respect for native cultures and his skill at describing their environment are what make these books so enjoyable and interesting. I will read all of his works--it is well worth the time.

.Switchbacks: True Stories from the Canadian Rockies
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Sid Marty

February 08, 2001
I've just discovered Sid Martys' books this year. I'm finding all his books are spellbinding. What makes Switchbacks so remarkable is that the adventures recorded are true stories. I could not put this book down. If you love the great outdoors, if you love to learn more about the history of North American parks,in this case, the Canadian Rockies, this is a must read.

This book is a great way to plan the trip ahead.
Pretty much all the information is present in Canada's great
topographical maps, but those are available only when you're there...

.The Complete Guide to Bed & Breakfasts, Inns & Guesthouses: In the United States, Canada, & Worldwide (Complete Guide to Bed and Breakfasts, Inns and Guesthouses)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Pamela Lanier

2008-04
This guide was not what we expected. We were hoping it would cover more B&B's in Canada but unfortunately it does not. Also it aims at the more expensive places. We feel that the term "complete" is a little bit over the top... We should have informed ourselves better. Nevertheless the B&B's that are present in the book seem very nice to visit...

.DogFriendly.com's United States And Canada Dog Travel Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Tara Kain, Len Kain

It was so great to be able to reach over, knowing I'd be running out of steam in X amount of hours, figure where I'd be then, and find a motel in this book, call ahead and book.

It actually does have B&B's and some park info, so I'm not sure what the other reviewer was referring to. I am recommending it to many other dog-owning friends of mine. Just put in 10,000 miles and it really was a lifesaver.

.Riding with Rilke: Reflections on Motorcycles and Books
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Ted Bishop

September 11, 2006
Disclaimer: I have been a librarian for 35 years, and a motorcycle rider for 46 years, so I can hardly claim to be a typical or neutral reviewer of this book. If Amazon permitted 6 stars, I would award them. It is a rare event indeed to find a work that so lovingly deals with both motorcycle riding and books.

Ted Bishop captures vividly the essence of long distance motorcycle riding, including writing in one's head while riding, and the distraction to a writer to riding in one's head while attempting to write (a considerably less dangerous activity). His words took me back to an 11,000-mile ride that I made two years ago, along many of the same roads.

Equally vivid are his characterizations of librarians and archivists who work ... Read More:

.Lonely Planet Vancouver
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Sara Benson, Chris Wyness

2002-04
Perhaps erroneously, I expect Lonely Planet guides to cater to the smart and budget-conscious traveler. Far too many of the hotels and especially the restaurants in this guide were waaay out of my price range. Further, the writer recommends Granville Island as a must-see of artists studios and a farmer's market, when it was actually a Disneyland version of such. Lastly, her chipper enthusiasm for diversity-as-consumer-product chafed. Better to get Douglas Coupland's City of Glass; it's not a guidebook per se, but it's a better guide.
