Good stuff

Moon's guide to Montana is an unexpected delight. It's in the details: the small towns with unusual histories, the monuments that go unnoticed by the side of the road, the off-the-beaten path places for which we learned to divert our course. If you're interested (as we were not) in AAA Tour Guide type reviews, this will not do the trick. If you really want to learn something about the place through which you're traveling, this is the book. Some of the large attractions, like Glacier National Park, get shorter shrift than in other guidebooks (Foders was one of the others we used), but Moon has a guide specific to Glacier if you want additional info---and it is voluminous! We're converts.

Thorough, Unique and Interesting

I would highly recommend any of the Moon Publication Handbooks, the Montana handbook is an excellent example of the accurate, in-depth coverage the Moon Company provides. There are many little things covered in the Moon handbooks that are omitted from the big travel names such as AAA and Frommers. This includes personalized information on ghost towns and local restaurants, and unique details on off the beaten path destinations often omitted from other major travel guides. Keep up the good work Moon!

Montana Handbook Gives Great Information

The Montana Handbook gives very insightfull information on Montana. The book is throughly detailed and is far supior to the AAA tourguide. This book gives information on ghost towns that are in areas not well traveled, and is great for people who want to travel the 2 lane highways of America and see something besides Interstate Highways. If only the Idaho Handbook was half as good.
