1. One of the reasons why I use this book is beacause it has wonderful tidbits and stories about the people and places that influence the Seattle scene. The book is easy to read and can give travelers a quick review on Seattle customs. Descriptions of the restaurants are thorough and offer suggestions of affordable places to grab a quick bite or sit down for a luxorious meal. The authors are honest about the social mix of people found here in the city...providing a section that talks about the areas populated and visited by the gay community. The small book can easily fit into the palm of your hand and is petite enough to fit into any small side pocket of travel gear - a handy feature for the frequent traveler! I reccommend this book in combination with the Lonely Planet: Seattle book and the Fodors Compass guide for Washington (state, that is).



2. On it's own, this book is too tiny to help anyone who's visiting seattle for more than a day. It has a paragraph or two about the most common attractions, restaurants, parks, etc. However, since it has great, detailed maps, and it's so small, it's great to tuck in a backpack. When I have friends come to visit, I give it to them to carry around during the day- it's wonderful to consult to find a good spot to grab a lunch, or to be reminded what sights there are to see in whatever neighborhood they're in. If you have a bigger guidebook that you normally use, this is a great, portable supplement.

1. When I was working on my book Paddling the Waters of Vashon Island I looked for a good historical reference that would help me learn about the early history of whites in the Pacific Northwest, and especially in the Puget Sound region. Both this book and the author's other book With Vancouver in Inland Washington Waters: Journals of 12 Crewmen, April-June 1792 were of great help in that regard. Of course, if they were boring I would not have gotten too far with them and would have had to look elsewhere for the information. Luckily, I found both volumes enormously interesting and feedback I have gotten from readers indicates that my own presentation of facts I got from them has struck a chord with readers as well.
