The finest and most complete guidebook for the Berkshires

This is easily the best guidebook available for the Berkshires (a remarkable region of natural and cultural beauty in Western Massachusetts.) Extensive, in-depth chapters not cover every attraction, restaurant, and type of lodging available in the region, but also provide a wealth of information on the history and culture of the region. If you're a day tripper visiting The Calarke Art Institute in the morning and the Norman Rockwell museum in the afternoon, you probably don't need this book, but if you're staying in the Berkshires for an extended time and long to really understand what makes this place so fascinating, you'll want a copy of The Berkshire Book in your suitcase.
