America's 100 Best Places to Retire (all new third edition)

Rating:
Summary: Almost as good as the previous edition
Review: The change of authors from the second to third editions coincided with the publisher's decision to eliminate crime rate statistics from the compendium of worthwhile data in the latest volume. These stats were held to be skewed because of population fluctuations in popular vacation destinations, and that omission is unfortunate. The good news is that the articles are interesting, and the interviews that form the basis for these descriptions do much to bring each spot to life. This remains one of several good books to have at one's disposal.
