 Out of date and too sketchy August 30, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
As others have pointed out this book is already out of date. I have returned from a visit to Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City and Nova Scotia and too often listings for restaurants and hotels were out of date or just wrong. In addition, the level of detail in this book was poor with areas I visited not being covered properly; the problem is I suspect that Canada is itself simply too vast to be properly covered by one book. The guide in general is not a particularly gripping read although the use of inserts about general or historical matters works well. You would do better to buy a guide that concentrates on the area (s) you are intending to visit.

As the above review suggests, various parts of this were out of date - restaurants had closed, TTC fares have gone up to $2.75 in Toronto... but on the whole is was a very well written, informative and useful book. We planned a month round Canada with this and took it everywhere it went without ever needing extra maps, guides etc.
Recommended.
NOT AS NEW AS ADVERTISED! February 26, 2005
40 out of 50 found this review helpful
Beware! Amazon says this was published in January 2005, but the publication date given in the book is actually June 2004. So when I take my trip to Canada, it'll be nearly a year out of date, rather than just a couple of months. A year can make a big difference - prices change, hotels and restaurants open and close, new attractions spring up, etc. A bit disappointing. Will Amazon correct this???
