5.0 out of 5 stars Not a replacement for a full sized travel guide but perfect if you are out-and-about, January 12, 2011

This review is from: Insiders' Guide: Key West in Your Pocket: Your Guide to an Hour, a Day, or a Weekend in Key West (Insiders' Guide Series) (Paperback)

I recently purchased several guidebooks right before a week long trip to Key West. I am glad that I purchased them all but I wanted something to carry with me that would fit in a pocket. This little book was just what I needed (by the way, this guide is about the size of a postcard!). The guidebook had some basic information on popular Key West attractions and general travel tips, including:

* Planning your itinerary

* Getting here, getting around

* Accommodations

* Restaurants

* Attractions

* Outdoor recreation

* Arts and culture

* Nightlife and entertainment

I planned my trip using my full-sized, conventional guides but I carried this one with me while I was there. It had the addresses, phone numbers, hours of operation, etc. of many of the places that I had decided to visit. PLUS (and here is the part that made it worth 5 stars) it has two pop-up maps, one in the front and one in the back. The front map covered the entire key and the map in the back focused on downtown (or "Old Town") Key West. Since the maps folded out of the book they were big enough to see without straining my eyes but not so big that I felt like any more of a tourist than I already did. I will buy another Insiders Guide for my next vacation.

Its a nice compact version of the larger travel guides with really nice included maps. Because it is compact it can't contain everthing but its a very good start.
