3.0 out of 5 stars
Hopefully not much changes, January 30, 2011
This review is from: Country Towns of Maryland & Delaware: Charming Small Towns and Villages to Explore (Paperback)
In many ways this is a nice little book. I wish it could be updated, but it seems, sometimes not much changes in these small towns.
This would be a useful book, if you are exploring the area and you also realize that the material is dated. It is hard to use as a tourist guide, because it is written in paragraph form with no highlighting or divisions between information concerning the different sights.
Colbert also makes statements about stopping by a shop, but no street address is given, or, stating it's ½ mile up the road, but not what road?
Still it is a detailed guide to some small towns and areas that not much other information exists with reference to. It could have also used a larger map than the 4" x 2" one in front, even though directions are given to each town.
The towns of Maryland and Delaware included are: Boonsboro, Centreville, Chesapeake and North Beach, Darlington, Delaware City, Emmitsburg, Georgetown, DE. Odessa, Oella, Oxford, Port Deposit, Smith Island, Snow Hill, Union Bridge, Uniontown and Union Mills.
