This guide is probably factually accurate, but there is not a single photo, illustration or diagram relating to any of the hotels or attractions (ie, Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, Rocky Mountains, Glaciers, Wildlife etc) Personally, if I am going to travel for hours and drive for miles to see a particular lake, I want some assurance that it is as beautiful as it has been described - and this is where pictures are useful.
I believe that most people who purchase a travel guide will want to flick through it for ideas of places to go and places to stay. If they see an interesting picture - they will pause to read the information relating to that picture and decide whether they want to vist that attraction or not. This guide is pure text from front to back - I think I've read about 3 pages and now I'm bored with it.
The information contained within the book IS very useful - there is lots of information about places to stay, prices, things to do and see etc, but where is the visual stimulation to make you want to bother reading all that text? This book is supposed to be a "guide", but it's more like a novel!
