Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
The publishers of the Best Places guidebooks promise to accept no free meals, accommodations, or other services when writing their books so they can provide the most honest reports about the hundreds of restaurants and hotels covered in this book: "We describe the true strengths, foibles and unique characteristics of each establishment listed." A useful rating system denotes whether a place is simply good to know about or worth a side trip out of your way, and the price codes make it easier to plan a travel budget. Northwest Best Places covers the best of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. To back up their claims, this book comes with a unique feature: a money-back guarantee! On page 600, the publisher explains that if the book "seriously misled you" in any way, they will refund the purchase price.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Badly needs updating,
By A Customer
This review is from: Northwest Best Places: Restaurants, Lodgings, and Touring in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia (12th ed) (Paperback)
Includes now defunct restaurants like Cafe Azul in McMinnville, OR (now moved to Portland); Heathman Grill, Avalon, Augustine's-- all closed. Review of Tina's doesn't remark on new building. Stellar new places like Macmenamins Hotel Oregon and Joel Palmer House not included. Spiffy new Heathman Lodge in Vamncouver, WA not included. OK, so the devil is in the details, but this is one OLD travel companion. Update it, or stop selling it.

New publication,
This review is from: Northwest Best Places: Restaurants, Lodgings, and Touring in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia (12th ed) (Paperback)
I have a question, I have the 20th Anniversary Edition of Northwest Best Places, 1994-1995, is there going to be a 1999-2000 edition?
