Book Review,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Insiders' Guide to Palm Springs (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)
Just got back from a Palm Spring Vacation and the book is accurate. One of the few guides available with any substance. Maps are okay (could use color though), as are comments on attractions. Palm Springs is a laid-back place and there just is not a lot to write about.
Restauants seem to go out of business regularly in Palm Springs, so the restaurant section is a little out-dated. However, descriptions of the Blue Coyote and other places are dead on.
