5.0 out of 5 stars Before Friends Visit Maine, February 25, 2008

This review is from: Frommer's Maine Coast (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

I live on the coast of Maine and have many requests from friends to visit during the summer and fall. I always send this book out before my friends arrive so that they can see everything the Maine coast has to offer and so that I can adequately make a plan for them to see the things that matter most to them. It is an invaluable guide and it "spot on" with descriptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great and helpful book, June 11, 2007

This review is from: Frommer's Maine Coast (Frommer's Complete Guides) (Paperback)

This book helped our family find great places to stay overnight instead of the typical chain hotels. My husband found his new favorite restaurant in Portland off of the suggestions in the book. It was an out of the way restaurant and we would have never found that great find without the Frommer's book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book About Maine's Coastal Region, April 1, 2007

This review is from: Frommer's Maine Coast (Frommer's Complete) (Paperback)

FROMMER'S MAINE COAST is a great book about the coastal region of Maine, filled with some interesting healthy diet and activity ideas. However, if you want a full picture, you also need to get THE INSIDER'S GUIDE TO PORTLAND, MAINE (due out May 1st), FODOR'S MAINE COAST, 1ST EDITION, and THE INSIDER'S GUIDE TO THE MAINE COAST, 2ND EDITION (due out June 1st). Even taken by itself, though, this book is a must-own.
