The Insiders' Guide to the Adirondacks

Rating:
Summary: a travel book with a sense of humor
Review: I found this to be not only comprehensive, but very entertaining and lighthearted. This is one of the few travel books I've read that actually made me laugh out loud here and there. Living near the region covered, I know you have to have good "local knowledge" to enjoy the Adirondacks. This book has plenty of it. I particularly liked the dozens of "insider tips" throughout.

Rating:
Summary: Warmed-over tourist stuff
Review: Insiders Guide to the Adirondacks reads like warmed-over tourism material. I was disappointed in the organization and lack of real "insider" info. Generic looking throughout.
