| The insight guide to Puerto
Rico is typical of the insight guides in that it provides
full color photos of attractions, people and area maps. They
cover most topics about the
destination.
| The book is almost as colorful as any National
Geographic book. However, it does contains more in depth
information on most aspects of Puerto Rico. |
| This guide is written with information that
will remain valid for at least 5-8 years from the day
it was written. However, you will not find website addresses
nor recent prices for hotels, museums or attractions. If
you are looking for bus schedules or travel times you'll
also have to look elsewhere. That more mundane but
useful travel information is not the focus of this book. |
| It's hard to find detailed country maps of some
places. This book includes a great one just inside the
fold out cover and a second one of Old San Juan on the
fold out back cover. When you read a tourist book, do
you always have to mark the map page so you can find the
place the narrative is talking about. It can get quite
tedious! The logical place for all maps are on the
covers just like this one. Good thinking people! |
| Read this book along with the Lonely Planet guide and
you'll find just about everything you'll want to know.
But, if you only get one book, this is the one to
get. |
