The Chocolate Lover's Guide is crammed with information the traveler and chocolate lover needs--where to stay, where to eat, where to find the best brownies and truffles. Plus it includes some great recipes. The author has a deft, lighthearted touch that makes you want to keep on reading. It's like nibbling on really good fudge, you can't stop with just a taste. And it's a perfect gift. >

Bobbie Hasselbring has brought something new and wonderful to the table in the world of travel guides. Not only does her book "The Chocolate Lover's Guide to the Pacific Northwest" feature terrific places to stay, but she also rates the best chocolate desserts, candy, baked goods, and frozen treats in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. My mouth started watering almost as soon as I picked it up. The author has listed "Chocolate Happenings" which are events that focus on chocolate, plus chocolate facts, stories profiles and tips. I love this book!

Bobbie Hasselbring's book is the ultimate guide to fine chocolate around the Pacific Northwest. For all of us who trek around the area, we have much to look forward to, chocolately speaking. I found listings for restaurants, bakeries, and candy stores which I hadn't known of. Now, thanks to the Chocolate Lover's Guide, business travel can become travel for pleasure!

In addition to these places I had not know of, I had enjoyed chocolate at several of the places listed, and find this book to be credible and reliable.

I was thrilled to find this book before Christmas. I gave this book, along with a box of Fran's Chocolates (in Seattle), to a friend who was ecstatic. I was, too, because I sampled several chocolates at Fran's while buying the gift.
