Customer Reviews

Great Practical Tips

This book is a great overview of Anchorage. It has good tips especially on entertainment and restaurants. I have been to Anchorage a lot, and this is my favorite overall book for practical advice...it is always in my bag when I go to Alaska. Others have said that it is getting out of date, which might be true in certain instances, but I personally haven't found any problems with currency. For the money and practicality I love this book. It's small, generally accurate and inexpensive.

very entertaining and helpful

I read this book before my trip to Anchorage and was not disappointed with the advice. My friends and I found the info to be concise and accurate. The Arctic Roadrunner, a recommended restaurant, was every bit as good as the book says. I would recommend this to anyone considering visiting or moving to the lovely city of Anchorage.

News from the author

I just found out that "City Smart Anchorage" has won a bronze medal in the 16th annual Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition, a national contest sponsored by the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation. Among the judges' comments: "An especially common-sense book that is well organized, concisely written and with much useful information...Contains a lot of "dos and don'ts" and local terms and trivia that will help a visitor quickly feel at home."

Bought it, Readt it, Used it, Will buy other City Smarts

Readable, fun, on the mark with inside, local info. Enjoyed the restraunts, pubs and suggested tours. After reading the book I, a city boy, knew exactly what to do when I met a moose in town. Clear maps and details. Thoughtful and funny personal insights by author
