The guide is personally researched by longtime residents, and it's full of their candid opinions about the best their state has to offer. They've inspected countless accommodations, and have selected the very best places to stay throughout the state: lavish golf resorts, spas, stunning B&Bs, beachfront motels, and Yosemite's best campgrounds. With Frommer's in hand, you'll see it all--from the desert to the towering redwoods, from Hollywood to Hearst Castle, from Sea World to Big Sur. You'll even get a free color fold-out map and an online directory that makes trip-planning a snap!

This is absolutely the most up-to-date book on California. I wanted to know a lot about where to go for wineries, and this was the perfect book. Plus it gives a neat, accurate description of accomodations and where-to-go's. A must have for all travel guide fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best, most comprehensive, July 4, 2000

I purchased a bunch of travel books for my trip to California, and this is by far the best! Especially good if you want recommendations on moderate and budget lodging and dining, not just pricey stuff.
