This got used pretty hard and served me well when I lived ~40 miles from the lake shore for ~2.5 yrs, back at the turn of the century. I especially liked the walking tours of various neighbourhoods.

Lonely Planet Books are indispensable, I just wish they were better at referencing the map in the text, and the page ref from the map key.
