Customer Reviews

Good canal guides...
These Pearson Guides are very useful for the walker or boater alike. They are clear and friendly in their manner and the reviews are fair in the local facilities section. The only down side is the maps are not uniformly drawn with north at the top, which allows a good graphic set up but can be a little distracting for some die hard map readers (me!).
