Excellent resource

Format:Paperback
We took the book with us to Pittsburgh and discovered all sorts of places we wouldn't have known about otherwise. Never steered us wrong.

Disappointing--Scatter-shot and Disorganized
9 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
The book's strengths seem to be the author's preoccupation with state parks, trails, and outdoor activities, to the exclusion of other sights, activities, and towns. Compared to other Moon Handbooks (a guide book series which I generally love), this one leaves out the detailed maps that normally distinguish this series, as well as town by town information. Two examples: try finding detailed info on Punxatawny--it's not there. You have to look on several different pages to piece together information on the town, instead of it being located all together under a single town listing. The same occurs with Indiana, PA--the quaintest town imaginable and all of it resembling a back lot for "It's a Wonderful Life"--but the only mention about the entire town is the Jimmy Stewart Museum...very odd, considering the town is home to a 15,000-student university and two National Historic Register buildings, well worth visiting in their own right.
The whole book feels scatter-shot, disorganized, and filled with gaps. It certainly doesn't live up to the standards of the Moon Handbook Series.

Not a good handbook
12 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback
I agree with the other review that said that a lot of information was missing. The author writes about every covered bridge in the state, but then misses some wonderful places, like the National Flood Memorial in St. Michael. And where are the maps? I used it because I bought it, but I kept thinking the whole time that I was missing a lot.
