5.0 out of 5 stars The most up-to-date, comprehensive gay guide out there!, December 7, 2009

This review is from: Damron Men's Travel Guide (Paperback)

I've seen other guides come and go (remember when Fodor's had one?), but Damron is the standard. They've managed to do it right for decades, and it shows. This book has saved my ass on numerous occasions. (and to those who complain about a few out-of-date listings... it's a book. They can't update it after its printed! [...])

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the Gold Standard for Gay Travel, January 18, 2009

This review is from: Damron Men's Travel Guide (Paperback)

Damron is still the gold standard for understanding gay travel and gay nightlife and gay-friendly businesses of interest. The 2009 edition is no different.

The key codes on the front back cover are an improvement, but a list of the codes in small type at the bottom of each double-page spread would be a positive tweak.
