5.0 out of 5 stars About the best you can get, June 24, 2009

I gave this book 5 stars not because it's perfect but because I don't think there's anything better out there. I would like to see a few more detailed maps included. But, aside from that, I think this is about as good as it gets. They give lots of web addresses and specifics about bike/kayak rentals and other things like that. The lodging info is pretty good but you'll want to make use of the internet to supplement it. Overall we have found this book very helpful and we are glad we got it. You may also want to pick up the DeLorme Main Atlas for detail maps.

I used to live only 3-4 hours from the Maine coast so you might think I wouldn't need a guide book but I still find it useful.

I used this book while recently traveling through Maine. It covers in thorough detail every area of the state, including valuable information that other guidebooks do not contain. It is a straightforward reference full of information covering small towns to large attractions. I had several other guidebooks with me, but this is the one that I kept coming back to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a good book but the 14th edition isn't much different from the 12th, August 16, 2009

This review is from: Maine: An Explorer's Guide, Fourteenth Edition (Explorer's Guides) (Paperback)

My wife and I go to Ogunquit, Maine every year and I always bring my copy of this book. One of the things we rely on it for is restaurant reviews. This year I decide to "upgrade" to the 14th edition since I know that many restaurants have closed and new ones have opened in the last few years. I was surprised that places that have been opened in the last few years still aren't listed in the book. In fact I think the listings for Ogunquit are the same as before.
