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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful book on Alaska and Tracy Arm, July 11, 2009
By Johnny Maven "GlacierDude" (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Tracy Arm is by far the most scenic trip there is. On my trip I saw unbelievable calving glaciers, bears, humpback whales, killer whales, beautiful waterfalls and much more. I definitely recommend going to Tracy Arm. In fact, there is a movie on Tracy Arm called "Alaska, The Tracy Arm Experience". The film captures the beauty of this incredible place. [...]
I highly recommend Tracy Arm. If you get a chance, experience it yourself. And don't forget to buy the film too!

2.0 out of 5 stars Frommer's, Fodor's, they're the same
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. Read more
