Excellent, concise and good maps,
By A Customer
This review is from: Boston: A Rough Guide, First Edition (Rough Guide (Pocket)) (Paperback)
I visited Boston with this book in my bag and it was invaluable. The maps at the back were excellent and clear, and the guide contains a good mix of historical background and descriptions, together with highlighting possible places of interest. Basically this is a good little book to keep in your luggage and covers all you will need to know.

The uniqueness of this guide is its size & conciseness - BUT,
By Allan M. Gathercoal "fdoamerica" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boston: A Rough Guide, First Edition (Rough Guide (Pocket)) (Paperback)
Boston, with its many districts, is a city that welcomes exploration by foot. Boston: Mini Rough Guide (though not a walking guide per se) gives you enough concise information to launch your pedestrian journey. Each district highlighted in the guide contains the necessary information to discover all the worthwhile sites. Impressive, are the twelve pages of colored maps at the back of the guide. Accommodations, eateries, drinking, night life, performing arts and other listings normally found in a travel guide are adequate. The uniqueness of this guide is its size and concise and accurate listings.However, a few noticeable shortcomings need to be mentioned. In this day and age any guidebook should have a listing of the top web sites that are worth viewing prior to your trip. The Boston Mini Rough Guide does not. Also, this Rough Guide tries to be all things to all people, where in today's world, differentiation in audience focus is critical. It states that the Boston: Mini Rough Guide is designed for, travelers of all ages and all budgets. For such a small condensed guide this spreads its coverage too thin. The Boston: Mini Rough Guide has failed to find a distinctive marketing niche. In SUMMARY: Boston: Mini Rough Guide is an adequate, informative guide that is very a reasonable price and packaged in a convenient size. Conditionally Recommended. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

An award winner,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mini Rough Guide to Boston (Paperback)
Customers may wish to learn that this book won a prestigious Lowell Thomas award from the Society of American Travel Writers -- I think the only Rough Guide to do so. The writing evokes the city well and the listings are kept current. Good format. A great buy for all those who need a few tips for making the most out of Boston, what the authors say is "as close to the Old World as the New World gets." And how.
