Good buy
Good information for pre trip planning
Five Stars
all correct, on time and as expected. Thanks.
Excellent Rough Guide
Maybe I needn't have bought the new edition, as it doesn't have much that wasn't in the previous one. But still, Rough Guides are the best for planning trips, though you need to check things on-line whenever possible. My only complaint is that it didn't have anything for Central Utah or Nevada north of Las Vegas. I added Moon Guides for both states, and the combination worked out well.
