4.0 out of 5 stars Good at what it sets out to do, June 15, 2005

This review is from: Compass American Guides: Minnesota, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I got this book because it was one of the few available for the MN area. I was going to the Twin Cities, and I found the section on that area decidedly lacking in information. It had far less information than a standard AAA guidebook. The tradeoff is the rich history and the beautiful photography, which are what this book is touted for. I usually prefer more practical information such as prices, hours, time to allow for an attraction, guides to good shopping and dining areas, etc., and this book did not deliver on those fronts. If you want an in-depth and beautifully done history, though, this book is a good choice.

If you are a stranger to the area, you definitely have to pair this with a more practical guidebook (like AAA). I'm still looking for a good one for the Twin Cities area.
