Summary: Superbly illustrated with color photographs of each bridge
Comment: Wooden covered bridges are found all over the American northeast. The first covered bridge built in the United States was over the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, and Pennsylvania still remains the state with the most surviving covered bridges in the country. Now in a completely updated and expanded second edition, Pennsylvania's Covered Bridges: A Complete Guide is the collaborative effort of Benjamin and June Evans. Criss-crossing the length and breadth of Pennsylvania, the authors visited every one of the 221 remaining covered bridges in the summer of 2000, taking new photographs and noting changes that had taken place since 1993 -- the year they published their guidebook's first edition. An indispensable guide for anyone wanting to tour these historical structures, Pennsylvania's Covered Bridges is superbly illustrated with color photographs of each bridge, while the text provides location and historical data, along with a succinct one paragraph description.

Summary: A Better Guide than Last One
Comment: This new edition is a much improved version of the previous edition. Contrary to another review here, I still do not find the directions that good. While they are much better than the last edition, they come no where close to as good as the Barna book on bridges in Vermont. I have used this book to track several bridges and found distances listed can be off by as much as 2 to 3 miles compared to the book. Still it is an improvement and you don't need to have township maps of the whole state anymore.

Summary: A First-Class Guidebook to Pennsylvania's Covered Bridges
Comment: This new and revised edition of the 1993 publication has expanded text and very precise directions for locating every one of the remaining 221 covered bridges in Pennsylvania. This is a "must have" volume for the serious "bridger." The authors revisited every one of the bridges taking new photographs, accurate measurements, and noting specific changes that have taken place since the first edition. This new edition also displays every bridge in full color.
