I love this series of guides from D.K., as I become so easily and quickly engaged with information on the place I am anticipating visiting. I love the organized layout, color coding, pocket-size, and the top 10 lists, especially for visits of one-week or less.

In this case, my travel companion lives apart from me and during a visit one weekend I was able to share this book with her. When she left, she provided me with a list of numbers of places she particularly wants to visit. It was easy to look up these numbers 2, 3, 6, 8 and 10 and translate them into destinations; Museum of Science, Boston Common and Public Garden, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and New England Aquarium. Next, I can view more details on these selections on subsequent pages, which are rich with colorful pictures and concise descriptions.

Finally, this book will be an additional traveling companion on our trip to Boston, hopefully sometime later this year.

I found the 2003 edition at a garage sale in California and read it on a whim. I like the format. It was cool but bittersweet to read as someone who lives in Boston now. The city used to be way cooler apparently lol

I like the "Top 10" concept because we will only be in the Boston area for a couple of days. However, the "top 10" concept tends to feature the most popular, "touristy" places. When I travel, I often like to go off the beaten path.

As much as I like reading travel books, I still prefer to research my travel destinations online so the information is current and up-to-date.
