1.0 out of 5 stars
Poorly laid out book,
By A. Jones (California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Insiders' Guide to the Oregon Coast, 3rd (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)
While this book has some valuable information on hikes, etc..it is very poorly laid out. You have to hop-scotch from section to section in order to find all the information you need on any one location. It made it so difficult to actually plan our trip that I ended up buying another guide book and have used that instead.

A Perfect Companion To THE INSIDERS' GUIDE TO PORTLAND, OREGON,
By
This review is from: Insiders' Guide to the Oregon Coast, 3rd (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)
THE INSIDERS' GUIDE TO THE OREGON COAST should be purchased with THE INSIDERS' GUIDE TO PORTLAND, OREGON, in order to give you a complete picture of Western Oregon. It's interesting to note that certain topics in this book are broken up into different sections of the coastal region, including town listings and tourist accomodations. Certain radio station categorizations, however should be taken like the humor in comedy movies featuring Melissa Joan Hart, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Cameron Diaz, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Garner, and Natalie Portman, as they are incorrect. This is a minor quibble however, as this book is generally a great guide for anyone looking for things to do in coastal Oregon to get in shape for their significant other and/or their favorite celebrity.
