1.0 out of 5 stars Next To Impossible To Use, September 7, 2004

By	C. Tauzin - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The manner in which Barish chose to organize her book makes it nearly impossible to use. It is arranged alphabetically by city, regardless of county. When searching for dog-friendly locations within a particular area, it is necessary to know the names of all the surrounding cities. Unless you have a map in front of you while using Barish's book, it is frustrating and virtually useless. In addition, the information in the book is scanty and many times inaccurate. I cannot recommend this book. In fact, I cannot in all good conscience even re-sell the book to an unsuspecting dog lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love It!, March 30, 2005

By	funny girl - See all my reviews

This is the best book I have found on California. It comprehensively tells you where to go and what to do. My dogs and I have a great time wandering around this fabulous state with the book as a guide by my side. Every dog owner should have this.

1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIBLY Organized, November 21, 2005

By	J. Wulbert - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you want to find dog friendly places in particular areas of california (aka, costal, bay, etc) - this book is impossible. I would recommend just getting a california hiking or camping book that has dog info. This book has alot of cutesy pictures and recommendations that I did not find helpful.
