2.0 out of 5 stars Where's the Color?, March 30, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Colorado Guide, 5th Edition Updated: The Best-Selling Guide to the Centennial State (Paperback)
"Colorful Colorado"? Not in this edition apparently. It's informative and thorough but fails (unlike previous editions of the Colorado Guide) to convey the beauty and wonder of Colorado because of its cheap, newspaper-like pages and black and white photos.
