Must-have guide for transplants, natives, and visitors...

As a native Houstonian that has been transplanted to Georgia, I thought I knew the ins and outs of the heart of Texas. Before returning for a visit, I reviewed this book and found out that there was much to learn! I had fun learning about the new spots to hit and reminiscing about old favorites. This well-written guide really does cover everything you need to know.

A great way to get acquainted with Houston

This book does a great job of putting just the right information you need right at your fingertips (and right on your dashboard as you're driving around town.) The neighborhood descriptions were very helpful, and something that I couldn't find anywhere else. The "where to go" and "what to do" ideas were great as well. I haven't found a better, more concise guide on how to make Houston your home.

An insider's guide to Houston

Are you looking for something to make the transition less terrifying? Then, this book needs to find its way into your hands. Houston is a daunting city even for those who may know something about it. And, if you are new to the area, this book can make a real difference in helping you determine where the best spot for you in this huge new place should be. Good luck!

Relocating to Houston and Surrounding Areas : Everything You

How I wish Ms. Cook had penned this book a decade earlier when I relocated to the Bayou City! This well-formatted and user-friendly compilation of the best the Houston area has to offer can be as helpful to a native Houstonian as to a transplant. The special little places that most guidebooks overlook are included here and are simple to look up on a moment's notice. Individuals relocating here as well as Houstonians should have this in their libraries.

Much-Needed Assistance for Living in Houston

Houston is a major metropolis, with an amazing array of "to-do's" in and around it. This book gives you solid advice on places and events that are worthy of the time and expense involved in participating. A must read for anyone who is being transferred there, and a worthwhile investment for people who have lived there for years. Time and money savings alone are more than worth the cover price.
