5.0 out of 5 stars I was able to make the most of my time, August 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Frommer's Portable Charleston (Paperback)

I found everything I was looking for and more in this small, easy-to carry guide. Not only did I find exact prices for hotels and restaurants, I also learned about low country cooking, the architecture in Charleston, and a brief history. All of this was in this little guide that I could fit in my purse!

This review is from: Frommer's Portable Charleston (Paperback)

I just returned from Charleston and used this book. It was a joy to use. Best little travel guide I've seen. It covers the major information for planning a trip and then it becomes a highly portable reference book while there. Highly recommend this book and "The Best Little Map Of Charleston". You need little else
