I was drawn to this book (Last Edition) because I read Utah and Montana in the series of Compass American Guides and loved those two. However, this one came out to be a big disappointment. It is not as well researched and written as others and borders on to be shallow and tasteless. By the way, how much did that international financier pay to have his picture taken in his so-called "palatial" home in the book? I just cannot see the connection between a man in his swimming short and the great state of Colorado. It did a disservice to publisher's reputation to include this title in the Compass series. I wish I could get back my hard-earned money I spent buying this book.

If you are looking for a good travel guide you should choose another book. In these book you will find a lot of background information about Colorado (history,...). I miss information that every traveler is expecting to find in a guide like this. For example where and for how much you can sleep. Where to eat. What interesting places to see? How can you travel around? At the end of the book there is a list of restaurants and accommodations. It is so short that resembles yellow pages.
