A great guide for a great country, May 18, 2003
This review is from: CANADA (Eyewitness Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I've visited Canada twice, and am entertaining the idea of moving there permanently, so I'm trying ro read and learn as much as I can about the country, and so far haven't found a better guide than this one.
While it's not really a history book, it does have some information of the country's past and present, including timelines, events and reknown people. As for it's travel guide side, well, it's quite excellent. As all DK Eyewitness guides, this one divides the country into 13 areas: Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick-Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, Montreal, Quebec City and the St. Lawrence river, Southern and Northern Quebec, Toronto, Ottawa and Eastern Ontario, The great lakes, Central Canada, Vancouver and Vancouver Island, The Rocky mountains, Southern and Northern British Columbia and Northern Canada. For each one you get information on sites, places of interest, museums, places to stay, places to eat, street walking tours, and as usual, great cut-aways, floor plans and reconstructions, plus a whole lot of pictures.
If you're visiting Canada, you can't miss with this guide.

DK's popular eyewitness travel guides provide a superb resource for planning and enjoying a trip to Canada. The guide combines narrative, maps, photos, and diagrams to capture the highlights in each region of Canada. Examples include historical sites, city zoos, beautiful natural scenary, uniquely Canadian institutions such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Academy and Museum, and Canada's excellent provincial museum system. Combined with local maps, this guide allows visitors to find and enjoy their choice of a variety of attractions.

This reviewer utilized the guide for a multi-day trip on the Trans-Canadian Highway, picking out interesting sites to visit during each day's travel.
This guide is highly recommended to anyone planning a visit to Canada, a very worthwhile destination.
