Title: Frommer's(r) Nova Scotia, New Brunswick & Prince Edward Island, 4E by Paul Karr ISBN: 0-7645-6598-2 Publisher: Frommer Pub. Date: 01 May, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (4 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Good for basic stuff
Comment: This is your standard Frommer's guide, good for hotels and restaurants but short on local color. We found the reviews accurate and the information up-to-date. But to figure out where you'll really want to go and what you'd be interested in, this book won't help you much. We used the guide to the Maritime Provinces from the "Off the Beaten Path" series, which is totally different from the Frommer's--long on local color and history, but very little information on places to stay and eat. But these two guides together, plus the free information you can get from the Nova Scotia Tourism website, are all you'll need.

Summary: No maps or pictures!
Comment: Based on past reviews, I purchased this guide for an upcoming trip to Nova Scotia and PEI. Reading it has been utterly frustrating. Complaint #1: the maps are AWFUL. The text will mention a park or city or scenic drive, and it is NOT EVEN MARKED ON THE MAP. This makes the guide completely useless for planning a trip. Complaint #2: there is a severe shortage of affordable "where to stay" options; I found most listings seem similar in their style and price range (quaint inn/B&B, ~$120). Complaint #3: the writing is extremely dry. I'm not quite sure where the previous reviewer found humor in this guide.
Bottom line - I will HAVE to purchase another guide. Another reviewer stated that this guide needs to be complemented with another; I would suggest that this guide has nothing unique to offer and skip it altogether and go with Fodor's instead.

Summary: A Sense of Humor
Comment: This guide was fun! The only things we knew about Nova Scotia we found in government tourist guides which were not always clear or easy to use. But Frommer's came through and gave us inside information and ideas about what authentically interesting things we should look for. The best thing, though, was the entertaining comments here and there. I found myself chuckling and then reading them aloud to my partner as we drove through the countryside. It was a good companion for our trip.
