1.0 out of 5 stars Useless Book!, April 27, 2005

This review is from: The Coast of Maine Book: A Complete Guide, Fifth Edition (A Great Destinations Guide) (Paperback)

I bought this book to help me plan my first trip to Maine. I plan to return it tomorrow. The majority of this book is lists of hotels and restaurants. There are lots of activities and sights listed as well. The problem is that the author does not distinguish between any of them. Every place is just listed with a short description. It is impossible for someone like me, who has never been to Maine, to determine which parts of Maine I should visit and what I should do while I'm there. I am a frequent traveller, and I have never seen a worse tour book.
