Summary: Excellent, Colorful Guide To Wales
Review: I am a fan of the Insight Guide series, and this volume is particularly excellent. Not only is the photography colorful and breathtaking, but the narrative and information presented is relevant, topical, and well detailed. I particularly appreciate the fact that less commercial areas are presented well, and with more care than many other guides. The book contains a variety of useful features, from details of interesting spots, to climate, cultural, travel, and lodging information useful to any traveler. I particularly appreciated the coverage of the beautiful and often overlooked Snowdonia region.

There are other guidebooks available with somewhat more detailed lodging information, and I would likely buy them as well, but for planning a trip to Wales, this book provides an excellent overview, and facilitates decision making in part by the abundance of color photographs of genuinely captivating subjects. Maps are not particularly detailed, but are carefully scaled and positioned for ease of use.

For planning a trip to Wales, this book is virtually indispensable.
