This review is from: Massachusetts: An Explorer's Guide: The North Shore, Central Massachusetts, and the Berkshires, Third Edition (Paperback)
It looks like this guide used to be titled "Beyond Boston and Cape Cod" - and that's about right. It's a great guide for the rest of the state, just don't expect to find anything about Boston or the Cape in this book.
Once I got beyond that, I found the guide to be as informative and useful - the reason I always look for this series when traveling somewhere new. Here's hoping someone is working on the Boston and Cape version.
