My husband and I had a wonderful weekend exploring Western Maryland due to this book. We have driven through Western Maryland many times and nothing seemed to make us want to stop and explore the area. This book did. We saw beauty, found a wonderful place to eat and enjoyed some simple shopping.

For 3.95, it is more than fair. I used it only for my Baltimore trip. It did a right-on treatment of the best Maryland crabcakes (go Faidley's!).
