Frommer’s India (Frommer’s Complete) Best Review
Frommer’s is packed with information, and it’s reasonably well organized. It covers a huge and diverse country with a reasonable amount of detail. It’s written to appeal to a wide range of travelers, but it’s probaly most useful for people who are (1) traveling on their own rather [...]
Frommer’s National Parks with Kids (Park Guides) Best Review
I really like this book. While it is supposedly geared for kids, I think it’s very useful for finding interesting things to do at National Parks for everybody. I don’t know why I didn’t know this – but when I looked at the table [...]

Streetwise San Diego Map – Laminated City Center Street Map of San Diego, California – Folding pocket size travel map with trolley lines Best Review
I like this laminated map. At first I was confused because it’s sideways but then it does give you the North east west compass directions. I guess they made it like [...]
Rick Steves’ Italy 2009 Best Review
Having used many guidebooks, I think these are the best. Granted, the Rick Steves books are unique in that they are selective in the areas that they describe, but these areas are described well. I’ve used his France, Italy, and Spain guides. With his books, you feel like Rick is [...]
