I didn't notice any difference from the other Frommer's travel books. If you look for something special the "Insider" or "Off The Beaten Path" series are probably more useful.

I was able to find expert advice on everything from hotels, restaurants, and the top attractions. This book was easy to use, and was filled with all the things I needed, without adding all the extra bulk you see in other travel guides.

I picked up this book before my first trip to visit a friend in Eastern Colorado. I figured that since I was a 'dummie' from the East Coast I could get the inside scoop on Colorado... boy was I wrong!
This book leaves out a giant chunk (the Eastern third) of Colorado. How can a book call itself 'Colorado For Dummies' and not include a geographic area in Colorado bigger than New Jersey?
If you renamed this book 'The Western Two Thirds of Colorado For Dummies' this would be a more appropriate title.
I do not know how well the book describes the rest of the state, however, it has lost all credibility with me for neglecting a third of the state (which happened to be the area I was concerned with). It makes me wonder if the author neglected one third of everything else, too.

My copy arrived in mint condition. Handy reference to have along during my trip to Denver, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, RMNP, and Boulder [and points along the way but best used to plan your itinerary before you go!
