1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Information, January 9, 2010

Samson Goliath "Sam" (Missouri) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Florida Keys and Key West, 14th (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)

This book is republished annually as though it were a new edition. It is not a new edition, but a repeat of older editions. Traveling to the Keys annually using past copies of this book, I have discovered that there have been virtually no changes made over the years. Some of the content is no longer applicable and/or incorrect. This book desperately needs an update. While the covers may change, the content does not. This is not a new edition, but a reprinting. Editors need to call it what it is. If you have an older copy of this book, you don't need the new one. If you are buying this as a guide to the Keys, be warned that some of the information is outdated.
