This review is from: Connecticut Off the Beaten Path: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

I bought this for my parents as they had recently moved from California to Conn. They love this book as it has allowed them to find some great bedroom communities nearby.
A true review would be from someone who knows the area, but for outsiders this was a great purchase.
