When I first received this book I was a bit disappointed by the fact that the book is no more than a 1/4 inch think pocket guide to Savannah and surrounding areas. I think that might be Fodor's thing or what they mean by 'Fodor's In Focus' though? Despite it's diminuitive size, it does pack quite a bit information about Savannah and Hilton Head.

In my opinion, it could be much more comprehensive pertaining to things to do in areas referenced. Specifically, the book could go into much more detail concerning area tours, parks, golf courses, and otherwise local attractions. Instead, it's like, 'Yup, they've got lots of nice ones'. At best, I would say that Fodor's does a very good job describing the major hotels in the area and locally operated dining options. While I do not need a review on the chain restaurants, I would have appreciated a listing for reference of all restaurants in given areas.

In all, I'd probably buy this book again even though the book seems as if it is written by an interloper. I just wish I could find something with a bit more information.

When I travel, I always have my Fodors! A must for a trip as it gives you everything you need to know when in a new place. Well, even in a place you have been before. I have these, but I end up buying the newer versions when they come out. A must!

it's an ok book if you don't want the full edition. moon's savannah and the low country is better. i like a book that opens up more and isn't difficult to keep open and see the inside edge of the pages. generally i really like fodors and frommers books, but this time moon editions win me over. don't get me wrong-this isn't a BAD book, it just doesn't handle easily for leisure reading and is not comprehensive enough for me. if you want a smaller book for a lesser price, that's what you get.

I gave this book to my wife as a wedding gift/honeymoon teaser. We took a delayed honeymoon and we had plenty of time to explore Savannah through the eyes of the Fodor's authors. From my chair, reading through the book, Savannah looked great and great fun! Fodor's did not disappoint. All of the spots we identified in the book were just as great in person. Wonderful guide to Savannah!
