5.0 out of 5 stars the best buy in travel guides, 23 Jun 2005
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
The layout of the Eyewitness Travel Guides is outstanding; they separate cities by areas and color code each area, with tabs on the side of the book to make the area easy to find. There is a map of all the central color coded areas on the inside of the front cover, and inside the back cover, a more complete map of the region.
Each chapter is a "color", covering Back Bay and South End, Beacon Hill and West End, North End and the Waterfront, Old Boston and Financial District, and Chinatown and the Theater District.
There is a final "Farther Afield" chapter that covers Cambridge, the JFK Library and Museum, as well as his birthplace, which is a fascinating, small house in Brookline, the Museum of Fine Arts, the U.S.S. Constitution in Charlestown, and much more.

For those like me who can't live without maps, there are plenty of them. Each chapter starts with an area map that has numbered location markers, and other pages have highway and train maps, a six page "Street Finder", and more.
As well as information on all the sights to see in this great city, you get "The History of Boston", "Boston Through the Year", "Travelers' Needs", with hotels, restaurants, entertainment, etc. A "Survival Guide" that covers emergency, banking, and practical concerns, and is a must for any foreign visitors to the city, ends this most useful of all guide books.

I lived in the Boston area for many years, and appreciated its rich history and beauty, and there is no single guide that represents the city as well as this one.
With sturdy construction and terrific photography, reproduced on thick, glossy pages, if you're travelling to Boston, or any major city (I also have the Chicago, San Francisco, and New York City books), Eyewitness Travel Guides are the first, and maybe the only, guide book you'll need.

5.0 out of 5 stars DK Brilliant as ever, 21 Mar 2009
By Tim Benson "bilboben" (LONDON UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
To be honest you can't do better than DK guides. I never go to any city on holiday or business without one. They are very clear, great visually and informative in the extreme. Boston meets the standard and I look forward even more now to my holiday later this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eyewitness Guides are all so user friendly, 9 Mar 2009
I have several of these Eyewitness Guides. This one does not disappoint.
Lots of easily accessible infomation accompanied by useful pictures that help so much when you're trying to find somewhere.
The books are pocket-sized too - if you've got reasonably big pockets!
Perfect for forward planning and handy when you're there.
