5.0 out of 5 stars The one Alaska guide to choose if you only choose one, February 12, 2009
If you look at my review of the Frommer's Alaska 2009, I noted that after reading both, Fodor's is by far the better of the two. It is much more comprehensive and complete, and beautifully illustrated with color photography. My particular interest was in the Alaska bush around the town of Bethel, since I have family there, and I noted that Frommer's kissed off this interesting native region as not being of much interest. One sentence. Fodor's spent several pages on the town and its surrounds, national parks, etc., with information on where to stay and eat, places of interest, guides and adventure trips though the surrounding tundra and wildlife areas, etc. This is the one guide to choose.

2.0 out of 5 stars Frommer's, Fodor's, they're the same, January 17, 2009
If you are only going to use one book to plan a trip, well it will do. It is practically the same book as Fodor's. While Amazon does not have it, a friend gave me a new book "Pauline Frommer's Alaska: Spend Less - See More" that is the best of all the books out there for those not on a tour or cruise. REPEAT - for those not on a tour or cruise.
