This gorgeous, full color guide to Alaska not only tells you all the information you need to know, but will ramp up the excitement for your trip as well. The photography is head and shoulders above anything I've seen in a guidebook before. As an amatuer wildlife photography it gives me a great idea of the kinds of pictures I can expect to take on my trip. The chart of where the best wildlife viewing is for each animal will be very useful as well.
This book is packed (crammed!) with information. The orange tips and small green boxes make it easier to sort through by immediately calling your attention to the most important pieces of information. I also love that there are so many maps! The interspersed "word-of-mouth" comments from Fodor's forums make this feel like a guidebook written by fellow travelers.
I will be checking out Fodor's other Full-Color guides when I plan my next vacation! ( )
