5.0 out of 5 stars Updated and Beautifully Crafted Book on a New England City, June 8, 2004
I reside in New England and this is another of my favorite books from this region of the country. DK has always published quality books in their Eyewitness Travel Guides and they have done an excellent job with this volume on Boston. It is very current and up-to-date. Unless you visit Boston on a frequent basis it is easy to get disoriented. I really found this book quite useful and the colorful layout of this book with maps, illustrations, photographs and text really inspired me to delve into its pages and check out one of New England's premier cities. The historical information on Boston was invaluable. I never realized some of the things I used to walk past. I think it is also very informative, not only from a historical perspective, but also as a point of reference for sightseeing, travel and enjoyment. DK did an outstanding job with this invaluable edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you purchased the new england guide, don't purchase this one, August 4, 2007
I purchased this guide and the new england guide as a package deal from Amazon.
This was a mistake since the boston chapter in the new england book gives the same info as this one.

aside from this, the book is great as any of the Eyewitness books I purchased so far.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really great intro to Boston, April 10, 2004
By jmz "jzarate12" (Fremont, ca United States) - See all my reviews
  
I bought this because I've only read good things about the Eyewitness series for travel. This books gives you something most of the other travel books don't: color pictures and specific maps of locations in where you're staying. That's just the starter. You will also get history about each location, what to expect while dining in this locations (with colored pictures of dishes), lists of restaurants w/phone numbers, what to do, where to stay....

The layout of the book is lovely, and definitely worth the retail price of the book. If the cost is too much, try finding it used. I'm not sure how helpful the book is while you're travelling (my trip to Boston is a couple of month ahead), but it's great to get a feel for the city beforehand.
