5.0 out of 5 stars British Columbia Off the Beaten Path, September 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: British Columbia Off the Beaten Path: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

The following came from reader Rita J. Martin recently:

Good Afternoon.

Say I just wanted to say, we loved your "Off the Beaten Path" British Columbia. Recently, my husband and I celebrated our 30th Anniversary and took a trip to British Columbia. And we used your book every step of the way and found there to be no errors within the contents (except a few increases in admission - and we called that life!). We even loved eating Halibut and Chips at Mad Trapper Neighborhood Pub. It's also thought it was funny we had taken several trips throughout the years and have never stopped at Marble Canyon wow I mean shout it out! That place is wonderful and will remain on our stopping list forever. I could go on and on about the material we found within the pages of your book. I've recommended it to several of our friends.

Without saying before I end this note; any chance you've written other books using that same guideline?

Sincerely,
Rita J. Martin
