This review is from: The Insiders' Guide to San Diego (Paperback)

I have read a number of guide books on San Diego, and most provide very useful information. However, this book by Landis and Shaw goes beyond the typical format. There are really great sections on the various cities and communities of San Diego county that provide readers interested in relocation with key insights and a general sense of real estate housing prices. There are other useful chapters on schools, things to do, restaurants, and so on that are useful for tourists, residents and families interested in relocation.

The authors convey their love of San Diego in a clean, refreshing style that makes for interesting reading. I found it hard to put the book down once I got going. Going through the well-written book was like seeing an old friend at a social event and asking about "the real story" behind a particular community. I heartily recommend this book, and look forward to the time when there will be a second edition.
