Review
Lee brings a breath of fresh air amid all of the negative publicity about Southern California. The author, a native of Orange County, correctly points out that Orange County, often overshadowed by its larger neighbor, Los Angeles County, has plenty to offer tourists and residents alike. It boasts some of the best restaurants in Southern California, some of the swankiest hotels, and the wildest beaches this side of Venice. Disneyland is one of the top tourist attractions in the world, and this breezy, well-written book tells travelers what to do outside of the Magic Kingdom. Wholeheartedly recommended. --Library Journal

Useful insider info for outsiders,

This review is from: The Best of Orange County California: A Guide to Scenic, Recreational, & Historical Attractions (Paperback)
We bought this book more than a year ago when planning a family vacation to Orange County. We wanted to go to Disneyland but hoped to stay in a house/cottage rather than at a big impersonal hotel for a week. Lee's book gave us a great feel for various towns and neighborhoods in Orange County and led us to rent a cottage in Corona Del Mar - a lovely walkable neighborhood within Newport Beach. We would never have found the area without his help and we had such a great time walking to the beach, restaurants, local eateries, etc. that we are returning this year. Of course, being almost 10 years old, the specific restaurant details and price info is very out of date.
