This book is for anyone who is living in or visiting the St. Louis area. It is like a guided tour without even being there. The book is very well organized, with loads of personal anecdotes that make the reader feel like he or she is visitng the area with someone. You really get a feel for the diversity and culture of the area. Information is clear, directions help with planning, and the reader will be prepared for all that St. Louis has to offer. To tell you the truth, the book is great fun even if you never visit St. Louis.

I'm the Office Manager of our facility and it's my job to make sure our new employees receive a warm welcome. We recently had a manager and his wife move here from Wisconsin with their twin 12-year-old sons, and I thought it would be a nice gesture to give them a book about the area. I almost didn't buy this particular book, because it only had one previous review; but it seemed interesting, so I thought, "Why Not" and went ahead with the purchase.

Several months later, after settling in to the neighborhood (and me forgetting about the book altogether!), the manager approached me to express how much him and his wife had enjoyed reading through the book. He said it was very interesting, packed full of information and extremely helpful for them as newcomers to the St. Louis area. I am pleased to hear how much the book was appreciated and I will definitely be adding it to my "Must Give" list of gifts.

I bought this book because I was taking my son to St. Louis, a town I lived in for seven years. but I had no idea St. louis had so much to offer for kids (I didn't have children when I lived there). This book shows you thngs that are not just the zoo and museums. It also shows factories, historical places and kids friendly restraunts. And gives age recommendations so the whole family can enjoy the trip. I highly recommend this book if you are planning a trip with children of any age.
