Satisfied Dummie
I had ordered three different books on Alaska Vacations, this one was the best hands down. I loved this book. It gave me all my options, sample vacations, told me the best and worst of Alaska. I really feel I can now book my vacation and feel very comfortable. Going to Alaska is a very expensive vacation, I have waited a lifetime for a trip like this so I wanted to make sure of all my options. This book gave you the pros and cons of cruising, driving, renting an RV, railroads. Once I got through I knew exactly what was the best option for myself.

A Great Guide if you don't know where to begin.
The book is filled with valuable information from the writer of Frommer's Alaska. This is a great book for anyone who just doesn't know where to start on planning their first trip to Alaska. Be sure not to get both Alaska for Dummies and the Frommer's Alaska guide because there is a lot of overlap.

Unfortunately, this book is completely void of photographs which is a shame in a state as picturesque as Alaska.

If you are looking at purchasing this book, the second edition is being released on March 14, 2005. I just finished the book so I thought I would put my two cents in about it.

fine book
Don't make the mistake I made and buy this and the Frommer's guide, too. This book has very useful and detailed information. They have the same author and much of the text is identical.
