Summary: THE Guide to Canada's Atlantic Provinces
Review: Barbara and Stillman Rogers have created a guide to Atlantic Canada that is comprehensive and critical, yet never diminishes the charm of this too little explored area of Canada. This "adventure" guide is for both the novice and experienced traveller. Very practical -- including tips on how not to get stuck on a muddy road. If the Rogers haven't found every nook and cranny in Atlantic Canada, then there isn't one worth seeing. I wouldn't leave home for Atlantic Guide without this book tucked into my backpack.

Summary: The definitive guide to Canada's Atlantic Provinces!
Review: Barbara Radcliffe Rogers and husband Tim offer the most detailed and up-to-date coverage of these still-underexplored provinces in their new 672-page guide. They present their intimate knowledge of the area in an interesting and often humorous style. (Barbara's account of her first solo dogsled experience will surely give you a chuckle.) The well-organized book combines history, culture, fauna and flora, and tidbits of local lore with practical advice on the best places to stay and eat, what to see and do, and how to get there. Hundreds of travel tips cover everything from mileage and currency conversion to how to keep bears and mosquitoes away. Adventures and activities span the four seasons and offer something for everyone: dogsledding, skiing, biking, whale-watching, fishing, boat tours, wildlife watching, birding, cultural and eco-travel experiences, walking tours, sightseeing, and so much more. Photographs taken by the authors are interspersed throughout, and helpful maps assist with trip planning. It's fascinating and enjoyable reading, even if you haven't planned a visit to this beautiful part of Canada.

Summary: Second Rate
Review: This travel guide often misses important advice, and was misleading regarding some places, while it missed others. Example: p586 described Trout River Pond as one of the most scenic places on the continent for stillwater kayaking. It wasn't. You had to go four miles for it to start getting good. While there was much better kayaking in the same park. In other places it missed the largest hotels and failed to warn that summer almost requires reservations. So does the unreliable ferry. Newfoundland was among the best places I ever explored but the free book from the provinces tourist bureau was much more valuable.
