Customer Reviews

Insightful, good pictures and maps, but outdated
The book is advertised as a 2008 edition but is actually a reprint of 2006 and three years old. A lot of the information in the book is outdated. Otherwise it is an excellent help in choosing where you want to go as it has many evocative pictures and good maps.
