A great guide for a great country

I've visited Canada twice, and am entertaining the idea of moving there permanently, so I'm trying ro read and learn as much as I can about the country, and so far haven't found a better guide than this one. While it's not really a history book, it does have some information of the country's past and present, including timelines, events and reknown people. As for it's travel guide side, well, it's quite excellent. As all DK Eyewitness guides, this one divides the country into 13 areas: Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick-Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, Montreal, Quebec City and the St. Lawrence river, Southern and Northern Quebec, Toronto, Ottawa and Eastern Ontario, The great lakes, Central Canada, Vancouver and Vancouver Island, The Rocky mountains, Southern and Northern British Columbia and Northern Canada. For each one you get information on sites, places of interest, museums, places to stay, places to eat, street walking tours, and as usual, great cut-aways, floor plans and reconstructions, plus a whole lot of pictures.If you're visiting Canada, you can't miss with this guide.

More than just words...

This another great guide in the Eyewitness line. Offers lots of great information in addition to all of the great photos. All of the great graphics contained with in this book are what makes so good.

The one guide that covers the world's 3rd largest country at it's best. Experience Canada's great cities and spectacular scenery as no other guide book can describe them. An added benefit to the seasoned traveller, a must for the first time visitor to Canada.
