Summary: A Critical California Reference
Review: Most California residents are not rich and cannot afford every Thomas Guide there is [although we can dream], so we have to be selective and pick the most critical ones. Given that I live in Whittier, I replace my Los Angeles/Orange Counties Thomas Guide every two years. For those places I don't travel through as often, this atlas usually fills the bill. Besides having detailed highway maps for all of California, it has detailed maps for the more commonly travelled urban areas. Many a time I've forgotten to pick up a detailed road map for my destination and this handy atlas has saved the day. It doesn't have every detailed urban map in the state [we're back to dreaming about owning all the Thomas Guides], so a trip to the auto club may be necessary for some places. And as always, I feel for the folks who live in areas that are not mapped by the Thomas Bros!

Summary: Thomas Guide Road Atlas & Driver's Guide
Review: This guide is has some highly detailed maps. It gives you a relatively good feel California in general. However, one drawback to the guide is that it only has detailed maps for the large cities. For maps on the smaller cities, you will have to find another source. Overall, the guide is useful for traveling from city to city, but not within the small cities.
