A Good Guide To Atlanta

Frommer's guides are generally quite well researched, if a bit visually dull: the book is of the old school, and has no photos or catchy graphics, but does have good and detailed text about Atlanta. All areas of city life are well documented, and while everyone has personal lists of what are or are not significant enough for inclusion, the Frommer's staff generally strikes a good balance for most travelers, especially first time visitors. I lived in Atlanta many years ago, and while a lot has changed, the attractions (like the Margaret Mitchell House and the World of Coca-Cola) and restaurants (like the wonderful Atlanta Seafood Market, which has a 65 foot tall copper fish weighing 50 tons standing on it's tail out front, making it quite hard to miss) that I have personally been to are well covered and accurately reported, giving me confidence in the rest of the book's contents. I found the section on shopping to be sparsely detailed, and occasionally found the organization a bit difficult, especially in the restaurant section where restaurants are alternately organized alphabetically, by type of cuisine, or by general geographic region (which will be very foreign to newcomers.) I found the guide to hotels excellent, even though I am not a fan of the way the staff divided Atlanta into regions. I would have also enjoyed a few glossy inserts of photos like most other guides have to help judge if an attraction is something I am interested in or not. Those are personal preferences, though, and overall I find the guide quite utilitarian. I picked this guide up for a business trip to Atlanta, and unfortunately, didn't get to see nearly as much as I wanted. You can bet, though, that the next time I come through Atlanta with time on my hands, I will bring the Frommer's guide with me.

KK Snyder rocks!

This is one chic who knows Atlanta. The book is very well written. Every thing you want to know about Atlanta is in this book. It is very detailed and informational. KK Snyder did a wonderful job on this book.

This book has it all!

This guide was all I needed for my trip to Atlanta. It has great color fold-out maps, exact prices on all hotels and attractions, and even ratings for every hotel, restaurant, and attraction! I was able to take a tour of the CNN Center, explore the MLK Jr. Center, and even hang out at the zoo..I found it all in this guide..great for taking a trip with the family or for business.
