Summary: The best of many guidebooks to Vancouver
Review: I am a frequent traveler to Vancouver, and over the years have picked up a variety of books to city, and recently found this one in a Seattle bookstore. It is a smallish guide, but contains everything a traveler needs to make the most of a visit. I like to get out and about when on business-related travel, and found that the book has led me to many interesting places I never new existed (I had a great morning sea kayaking up the Indian Arm on the author's reccomendation). I also like reading about those quirky facts about places that are hard to come by, and again, the author knows the city well from the inclusion of many of these facts (Vancouver: Secrets of the City is a book devoted to the subject). The section on restaurants is extremely comprehensive, with all price ranges covered, and I found the author's picks spot on. The book ends with a chapter on nearby Victoria, a helpful addition.
