2.0 out of 5 stars No no no, December 16, 2008

By	D. Walruff "fwk" (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book or series of books is trying to hard to be "cool" instead of useful. The map only shows streets and doesn't show where anything is like a good guide book should. And the Map is vague, not much detail and only one small zoom in shows all of the names of the streets. It does have some merits, there are some interesting photo graphs, it is very small. But I wouldn't recommend taking it on a trip with you, it's virtually worthless for information, there is only one item per page and sometime only one per two pages and the book is not that big. If you buy it, leave it on your coffee table.
