3.0 out of 5 stars
Good but starting to get out-of-date,
By Rachel R (Eagan, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: City Smart: Anchorage (Paperback)
We used this book for a trip we took in January of 2003 and found that a few of the items are starting to get out of date. i.e. one of the museums listed in the book no longer exists and resturant names have changed. The book is copyrighted in 2000 so it's time for a new edition.I liked the format and the info it gave, just beware and double check the listings.

News from the author,
By Donna Freedman (Anchorage, Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: City Smart: Anchorage (Paperback)
I just found out that "City Smart Anchorage" has won a bronze medal in the 16th annual Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition, a national contest sponsored by the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation. Among the judges' comments: "An especially common-sense book that is well organized, concisely written and with much useful information...Contains a lot of "dos and don'ts" and local terms and trivia that will help a visitor quickly feel at home."

very entertaining and helpful,
By "pipvo" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: City Smart: Anchorage (Paperback)
I read this book before my trip to Anchorage and was not disappointed with the advice. My friends and I found the info to be concise and accurate. The Arctic Roadrunner, a recommended restaurant, was every bit as good as the book says. I would recommend this to anyone considering visiting or moving to the lovely city of Anchorage.
