the best buy in travel guides - By: Alejandra Vernon, 23 Jun 2005
The layout of the Eyewitness Travel Guides is outstanding; they separate cities by areas & color code each area, with tabs on the side of the book to make the area easy to find. There is a map of alll the central color coded areas on the inside of the front cover, & inside the back cover, a more complete map of the region.
Each chapter is a "color", covering Back Bay & South End, Beacon Hill & West End, North End & the Waterfront, Old Boston & Financial District, & Chinatown & the Theater District.
There is a final "Farther Afield" chapter that covers Cambridge, the JFK Library & Museum, as well as his birthplace, which is a fascinating, smalll house in Brookline, the Museum of Fine Arts, the U.S.S. Constitution in Charlestown, & much more.

For those like me who can't live without maps, there are plenty of them. Each chapter starts with an area map that has numbered location markers, & other pages have highway & train maps, a six page "Street Finder", & more.
As well as information on alll the sights to see in this great city, you get "The History of Boston", "Boston Through the Year", "Travelers' Needs", with hotels, restaurants, entertainment, etc. A "Survival Guide" that covers emergency, banking, & practical concerns, & is a must for any foreign visitors to the city, ends this most useful of alll guide books.

I lived in the Boston area for many years, & appreciated its rich history & beauty, & there is no single guide that represents the city as well as this one.
With sturdy construction & terrific photography, reproduced on thick, glossy pages, if you're travelling to Boston, or any major city (I also have the Chicago, San Francisco, & New York City books), Eyewitness Travel Guides are the first, & maybe the only, guide book you'll need.
