3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite "ultimate", July 16, 2008
By bilahn (Minneapolis) - See all my reviews
While this a perfectly enjoyable guide to Lake Superior region, I find it lacking in some respects so as not to quite merit the "ultimate."

First, the descriptions lack the amount of detailed information that I would expect. At times it reads more like tourist promotion than a serious guidebook.

The biggest problem though was the decision to list the attractions alphabetically rather than in geographical sequence. Since it is likely someone traveling will want to read about the places as he/she comes to them, it is really inconvenient to jump around the book. If I want to read about say, the Upper Peninsula, I have to jump around the book. Each entry does have a "what's next" - but that is really not adequate.

This also means there is no continuity or flow between listings. If you want to look up a specific place - well, that is why books have an index.

The book has very good maps, but because of the order of listings, a particular map will not be near all the towns that are on it.

I have never seen this arrangement before, and I am not sure why the editors chose to do it. In my opinion, it significantly reduces the utility of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A broad-reaching guide packed with information, September 5, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Lake Superior: The Ultimate Guide To The Region by Hugh Bishop is a definitive 320-page guide and travel map especially for Lake Superior tourists and travelers. Cities, small towns and regions are listed in alphabetical order, each with black-and-white photographs and road maps, information on where to stay, where to taste the local flavor, and other attractions. The text offers short descriptions of each town and suggestions concerning where to go and what to do to experience local treasures to the fullest. A broad-reaching guide packed with information, and a guarantee that the Lake Superior traveler will never run out of things to do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book - Wrong Price
This is a great reference book for the US and Canadian venture around Superior.
However, I was billed three dollars more than the printed price on the book cover!
