Excellent book.
21 May 2000
Format:Hardcover
Of all the travel books we have used, this one of Frommers is the best. Its appeal, however, is for people who like recommendations of the best items - like best places to visit, best B&B's, etc. We find it saves us a great deal of planning time to FIRST focus on the section at the start of the book when we start organizing a trip. Later, we add items which we want to do which may not be as popular with everyone.

The Best of Frommer's
12 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
I actually used the 2006 version for my travel to Alaska last year. It was absolutely invaluable. I also own Frommer's Caribbean, NYC Pocket guide, Florida and Walt Disney World and Orlando. This book is by far the best of all those guides. The author lives in and loves Alaska, and this shines through the writing. It's very helpful when trying to decide what to see and do in such a large state with so many natural wonders.
He also includes very practical information and does everything he can to ensure that those of little or high means can manage their dream trip to Alaska. He is very candid and meticulous throughout. We've found his recommendations to be right on the money. Might I also suggest picking up the "milepost" magazine from Alaska for more in depth (though dry) info on all your drives. It helped us to see a lot that we wouldn't have otherwise seen on the drive to Denali. We will definitely go back!!!!

Great Resource for Planning Your Own Alaskan Getaway
23 July 2002
Format:Paperback
This book is a great resource for planning an Alaskan adventure. Area by area recommendations and descriptions are given to help the reader determine how best to meet his/her vacation goals.
Especially helpful are the web addresses for individual services and locations, as well as the recommendations for the slightly-lesser known and (in the author's opinion) less crowded activities and the corresponding suggestions for how to beat crowds and how to plan ahead to have the experience you want.
The general over-view information of each area also helps give the reader a good impression of the area and what the overall experience of the area would be like.
A very thorough book.
