Summary: DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!
Review: I moved to Northern California in 1991, and have been buying the latest version of this book every time it is updated. It pays for itself in one outing! My partner and I have discovered a WORLD of wonderful places to stay-from the cheap to the luxe-and found some excellent restaurants in some otherwise "doggy" locations. We enjoy and use the book SO much-we now buy 2 copies-one for home, to plan trips and one for the car-in case we find ourselves hungry and/or in need of lodging in unfamiliar territory. This book is a must for anyone who likes traveling, exploring or just finding a damned fine place to eat or sleep in just about any town(including your own!) in Northern California. Ms. Poole-I salute you!

Summary: Terrific guidebook for unique places to stay and to eat
Review: I recently used this book (July 1998) for places to stay and to eat in Carmel, San Francisco and Sonoma/Napa Valleys. The book had excellent recommendations for dining and for lodging that were unique, one of a kind, some eclectic, and/or places with atmosphere. I would highly recommend this guidebook and will investigate whether this author has other books on different regions of the country.
