5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for those visiting the coast, September 19, 2000

By A Customer

I had a week to travel down the Oregon Coast and every where I went this book came in handy. It's nice to have recommended places to stay and things to do. The Intro. is a great read in itself. It is funny and entertaining. This book is packed full and I want to say "Bravo" to Falcon for producing books that make new comers to the coast feel at home. As an end note, the Index is AWESOME! I would highly recommend this book over all others I've seen about this area.

Finally, a comphrensive book about the Oregon Coast. This book has everything you could ever want plus MORE. It has detailed, information about bed and breakfasts as well as other coastal attractions. This book also has an in depth parks and recreation chapter that covers the entire coast. I found this book a great read about the history of the coast and also as a great reference for schools, newspapers and other media.

Don't waste your money on this book. The pictures are terrible as is the advise on what to see and where to go. The book's style and look is as if it were written forty years ago. You are better off using another source for your Oregon travel information.
