Though Slightly Flawed, Still My First Choice for Maritime C
This Moon Travel Handbook has a solid introduction section that covers the region's land, ecology, history, government, economy, climate etc. Mark Morris has produced an extremely helpful travel guide on Atlantic Canada.

Each Province is covered succinctly and Mark Morris' information and recommendations are helpful, but his restaurant comments could be more critically informative, ie. "the food is well prepared" (what the heck does that tell me?) or "the seating is smoothingly refined" (huh?). Also, because the publication date is 1999 (thus the information is pre '99) I found some restaurants and inns closed or sold. As a whole, accommodations prices have increased an average of 15% to 20%.

Maps are an essential and critically important aspect of any guide. The maps in this guide are easy to read but lack the user friendly aspect of locating the recommended restaurants and accommodations on the maps.

A area that has become as essential as address and phone numbers is email/web site addresses. A time and significant cost saver especially for up-to-date information and accommodation quotes and reservations. I am sure this will be addressed when the next edition comes out.

Though slightly flawed due to the date, lack of user friendly maps and absence of Internet information, this guide is still my first choice for Maritime Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador. You will not regret this purchase. Recommend 3. 5 Stars.
