Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hidden New England: Including Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont (Hidden Travel) (Paperback)
I bought this book based on the publishers blurb in Amazon.
This is an unfortunate demonstration of the major pitfall of buying books from Amazon. If I had looked at the book in a bookstore I would never have purchased it, I sincerely doubt anyone would. The book is poorly executed primarily in its index or rather series of indexes which are set out so to make as little practical sense as possible. I will never be able to tell you what is in the book because it cannot be found. It is a frustrating exercise simply leafing through it because the index is no help. Perhaps if I was intimately acquainted with New England I may have some idea where to look in the book so as I could find what I was after. If I did, why would I be buying a travel guide? I will stick to the DK's Eyewitness Travel guides from now on at least I can find stuff in it.
