My family was very disapointed to arrive in several U.S. cities(Sacramento, Los Angeles, Pasadena,and Northridge in California and Portland and Ashland, Oregon), armed with our veggie guide book, only to discover many of the restaurants were out of business. The latest printing says 1998 yet one restaurant in Sacramento, Ca. (Marline's Vegetable Patch), we were told, had been closed for four years. This book needs a serious update. We were let down numerous times and it really messed up our plans. The resource woud be great if it really had been revised in 1998. Also, there are some great Vegan and vegetarian restaurants that are left off the list completely. It makes me wonder who is doing the scouting for Vegetarian Journal.

I agree with the other reviewers that the material in this book is extremely outdated. Instead of just showing up at the establishment, I called ahead to inquire about hours, etc. I would estimate about 2/5 of the calls I made were disconnected numbers. I hope the VRG decides to revise and create another edition of this book, as the concept is fantastic. My advice is to hold off purchasing this book.
