| This guide is for the experienced traveler. Judith Wylie is a good writer and she makes the places and attractions she describes come alive. On a recent trip to the West Coast I bought this book and found its recommendations which I followed to be accurate. However, the Best Places series' emphasis on selectivity means an awful lot of choices as far as lodging and dining are concerned are left out. For someone beginning to explore an area a more inclusive guidebook might be a better choice. Also this book has no illustrations or photographs (save for the cover), which lessens both its attractiveness and usefulness. |
