In short, there is no better reference available. It has got to have ten times the amount of info in any book and is much more fun.

The depth of this product is absolutely incredible. Every single address in the historic district has at least one photo and a written description. Even though the amount of information is astounding, I found it easy to get into because of the guided tours and the clickable maps. My favorite tour is the now and then tour which shows current photos and old photos of the same places.

I particularly enjoyed the Treasure Hunt game. It led me through parts of the city I would not have otherwise visited and had a great graphic at the end.

My only complaint: some of the photos are not lit well but that is rare and the best photos are breathtaking.

This product truely conveys what it is like, and must have been like in the past, to "be there".

I bought one of these in a gift store in Charleston, and camehere to see what other titles this company has. This CD gives you the ability to walk around the city streets of Charleston, and shows you images, panoramas, antiques photos of each building, house , etc, and tells the history of each place. It also has a ton of tours you can take where the narrator guides you around the historic district to specific sites. I'd be willing to bet that this thing took years to put together - it's HUGE. If you like architecture and history (and I do!), and if you love Charleston or are planning a visit, I'd highly recommend this product.

I visited the Charleston Historic District a few years ago and this CD brought it all back to me. The amount of detail is amazing, including both pictures and text. Would also be a great tool for planning a trip.

Has an overwhelming amount of information, but is almost too complicated. I found it hard to navigate. Furthermore, I had to restart my computer twice during installation which I did not like, but afterward the program ran fine. The product is well done, and I appreciate the content, but I had hoped it would be more visually interesting and less complicated and bulky.
