My husband and I have recently semi-retired, and have spent considerable time traveling throughout the Finger Lakes as well as some other areas in New York State. We found the information contained in this guidebook to be well researched, concise, infomative and accurate. It is easy to find specific interests in the book, and we would highly recommend it to anyone interested in touring NYS.

I was looking for a book to consider taking a trip to the Adirondacks. There are not many with just that topic. In the past I have used Frommer's travel books happily. I knew this would have good information. It was more than I wanted, covering the whole state which would require a lot of info on NYC, but it was worth my while to purchase.

It's hard to find a guide book that actually covers all of New York State, but this one does a great job. There are features on small towns, the cities and everything in between. It's organized by region, which is quite helpful for a large, oddly-shaped state like New York.

Frommer's New York State, 4th edition, is a fairly useful book. I found that it had good information on the locations it covered.
However, there is no information at all on some cities. For instance, we were going to Oswego on a recent trip, and it is not mentioned in any way.
We did find some helpful information on most of our destinations on our recent trip to upstate New York.

This isn't a guidebook at all! It's a brief overview of some landmarks in NY. If you've never been to NY and don't know the difference between Brooklyn and Manhattan then this will clear things up. But if you are looking for something to help plan a vacation this is not it.

Not what I expected. Thought there would be listings of hotels and there wasn't anything. Just outdoors stuff.

We recently purchased the Frommer's NYS 3rd edition Travel Guide and it is wonderful. Packed with great info on best places to visit. We were especially excited about the info we got about the FingerLakes Canandaigua area and the review's about the Bed & Breakfast's in the area.
The Chalet of Canandaigua, apparently a NEW B&B in the area seems an awesome place to stay based on the descriptive 3 star review! The book is great to use,the What's New Section which leads you to the detail area section was a great way to guide your decision on where to stay, what to do when you get there!!!
I would highly reccommend getting this book to help plan a vacation or simply a quick getaway whether your from another country, another state or a NYS resident!
