Having been to the Palm Springs area on vacation and business, I decided to make a longer visit this year. I was therefore delighted to discover that this new guide had been published on the desert communities and eagerly looked forward to some good in-depth, insider information. My delight was shortlived, however, on seeing the book, which I found to be a rather arid compilation and rehash of information put out by the local tourism offices: all-the-usual-suspects restaurant choices & skim-the-surface places to stay and sights. The guide is not badly done, is well organized enough, and could be a useful starting place for the first-time visitor; but I found it did not offer much value-added beyond the good quality information I received in the mail from the visitors center itself.

This was a gift for my mother-in-law and she said that she enjoyed reading it.
