Customer Reviews

Not too shabby...

I've always bought Let's Go whenever I travel, but they didn't have a New England book, so I had to get this one. The organization is about the same. It doesn't have as much detail as the Let's Go Boston that I also bought, but I suppose it was because this has more content. The writing is a lot more entertaining that LG though. Also, I found the public transportation info really helpful. I plan on going on a New England road trip someday and I'll definitely bring this book with me.

About the reviews

Hey, I bought this book and liked it...and I'm a native New Englander. The coverage for Maine is particularly good, or at least I thought so.However, I'm posting this not so much to let y'all know that the guide is good, but to say that this book is in it's third edition, published in 2001. All of the reviews here date from 2000 and before. They apply to the second edition of the book, not the third. So take them with a grain of salt, cuz LP changes it's content alot when they update old editions.Just my two cents.

Another "Lonely Planet" success!

Having never travelled the New England region before, Lonely Planet's guide to New England was invaluable. In terms of content and detail, it covered towns, sites and other regional attractions that other guide books missed altogether. My only criticism is that the guide is a couple of years old now and whilst most information relating to things like opening and closing times was still accurate, reported prices had of course risen!
