Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Good tour guides for areas where you live are notoriously hard to find. The Moon Handbook written by Geoff Brown , who lives in Baltimore solves that problem; but it also makes an outstanding guide for out of towners.
There are many interesting takes on the normal tourist attractions including where you can find places that have appeared in John Waters films, and others such as Diner and the location of Ace of Cakes. Festivals and events are included. The beloved local dialect known as Bawlmerese and Hon is explained. All is written so that anyone could appreciate the information.
Considering that this book is 249 pages, it contains an astounding amount of facts including bits of history and explanations. Excursions out of the city to such places as St. Michaels, Frederick, Annapolis are included, giving information on sights, shops and restaurants. Phone numbers and internet sites are included- always valuable data.
Very adequate maps that are concise but easy to use and understand are included with sights on them. The book contains an index of shops, restaurants, nightlife, as well as a `normal` index. Anyone, including locals should appreciate safety in neighborhoods info - always a concern when visiting an urban area
