Customer Reviews

"...An Explorer's Guide" is the tops (1st ed.)

"Maine: An Explorer's Guide" was my first purchase in the series. Since then, I have used "Vermont..." and "Maryland...". While perhaps not ideal for novices in a region, they are excellent for one who has some familiarity with the state one is visiting. The descriptions of history, geography, cultural and recreational offerings; and the listings of inviting, independent restaurants, shops and accommodations have always been accurate, informative and insightful. If you are likely to visit more than once, or stay longer than a few days, this is the book for you. As a piece of advice, buy a good map to go with it.

best guide to the state ever

I live in Northern Virginia and am always looking for places to make quick getaways. I own other travel guides to the region, but they are not near as thorough or detailed as this one is. The author covers just about everything you can think of--museums, historic sites, places of interest, hiking, biking, canoeing and kayaking, amusement parks, golf courses (even miniature golf courses!), sailing & boat excursions, parks, bookstores, antique shops, restaurants (both cheap and luxury places), motels, B & Bs, and much, much more.What I really like is that he visited every place he writes about (man, what a job that must have been!). He gives overviews of the places, what makes them special, and what he experienced while there. For a travel guide, it is written in an entertaining style, and it has lots of local insider tips and information. Forget Fodor's and Frommer's; buy this one and really get to know Maryland
