This review is from: Fodor's Cityguide Atlanta, 2nd Edition: The Sourcebook for Your Hometown (Fodor's Cityguides) (Paperback)

Food is important to me - and this book has a great selection of restaurants in the first section. (No long and boring descriptions of Atlanta's history here!) The restaurants are organized by food type. However if you looking for one by name or by neighborhood, the index at the back is quick and easy. The restaurants I have visited consistently have had a good quality/price ratio.

The nice map section at the front of the book is a major feature of the book:
Positives:
- right at the front
- high amount of detail in the city center (where I live)
- easy to quickly find what I'm looking for using the map index number at the start of every attraction

Negative:
- the master map of the Atlanta area does not show boxes for the smaller more detailed maps! Therefore if I am on page 8 and am trying to get to a location on page 12, it is very difficult to determine how far it is, or even which direction to go.
