I bought this guide as I am travelling to Califronia and wanted to plan as much of my trip in advance so I don't miss anything... Having read the reviews of the Lonely Planet guide I opted for this Rough Guide and I'm glad I did.
The information given covers the usual tourist traps and also off the ebaten track things to see. The maps are clear, and I expect I'll be using these rather than the road atlas!
The only thing I would like to see more of in this guide are pictures - the pictures are quite limited and not at all up to the Lonely Planet standard.
Overall, this is a great guide and I would recommend it to anyone travelling to California.

This guidebook is extremely thorough, well researched and current. However, I found it hard to read in places as there is page after page of small print, unbroken by pictures, photos or maps. When you just want a quick check on something, you often have to plough through three solid pages of text about everything until you get to the simple answer to the simple fact you were looking up. There are a few glossy photos, but they are grouped together in sets of say, four pages, and miles away from the bits they illustrate.
Research wise, I can't fault it, but its heavy going and not easy to dip in and out of.

I was really disappointed with this book, as I have had great experience with Rough Guide's to other places in the past.
There's a lot of general observation without the useful information you need as a traveller, eg. it'll tell you that california's a good place to surf but doesn't include any info on where to hire equipment, take lessons etc.
Cross-referencing between maps and restaurants is in places non-existent which is pretty annoying as well.

Although I have only glanced at the book and not read it in full, it appears to be just what I wanted for our trip to the west coast next year.

This is an extrememly helpful guide - I have made quite a few notes. The only drawback is that it contains so many warnings that it has made me more nervous about the trip.
