5.0 out of 5 stars The best single guidebook you'll find, November 21, 2003

Richard Saul Wurman produces the single best guidebook for about two dozen cities worldwide. The New Orleans guide is no exception. The guide breaks the city into neighborhoods, each with its own locater map, and the entries are color coded to help you find what you're looking for; restaurants, shopping, architecture/siteseeing, hotels. Lots of local "favorites" and restaurant reviews that have never failed me. Through the New Orleans guide I discovered Jana's B&B for a trip when a big conference was in town and all the hotel rooms were booked.

Wurman is an acclaimed architect and graphic designer and those disciplines have guided the construction of this series. When you only want to take one guide book with you, Access is the one.

I have used access guides for many cities besides New Orleans. I have found them valuable in New York City, Washington D.C., and even in my home city of Philadelphia. They are unique. Going by street or by area they create a new type of guide which can be very valuable when walking or going though a particularly area. They augment, not replace the traditional guide
