Anti-American Sentiments a Turn-off
I know that the authors meant well. . but, the anti-american comments were a complete turnoff to an otherwise, well organized, informative book. Not all Americans litter, speak loudly, wear tacky clothes or "expect everyone to be the same. ".

Like food ? This book is for you. Otherwise ummmm....
Almost half the book is all about food, recipies, and places to eat. Sorry but this book is a little thin on what to see and far too thick on what & where to eat. OK there has to be some but half the book! Once the book does get going about the island itself there seems to be little detail and not much at all on what to see an do. The is a nice chapter at the end about the history of the island and a handy list of lists which sums up the first half of the book! Poor quality pictures and maps too.
The problem are there don't seem to many books available on the island.

A super guide to Victoria
We loved the way it was laid out by neighborhood, and were able tofind many of the shops and restaurants withoutany trouble. We spent two weeks in a condo in Victoria in May, and having read the Hill's Guide before we got there we felt right at home. We also made use of the suggestions for travel out of the city. Thank you for making our visit so memorable!.
