Summary: not terribly useful
Comment: I thought this would be useful in planning my trip through Nevada and northern California, and I read the book thinking, "Wow, this is a really in-depth guide!"; but when I actually got to my destinations, I found it to be essentially worthless. It tells you what cities are in California and Nevada (may as well just buy a map), and the names of some restaurants and accomodations (which you find out anyway, once you're there.) And since the book gives you no idea about how good or bad the accomodations are, what's really the point? I could find the same information (or better) online, for free. One thing I do like about the guide: the boxed asides often give entertaining and interesting information about a certain place or activity. But for the most part, I don't find Lonely Planet guides to be useful for the way I travel.
A side note about accomodations: for Caliente, NV, they name "Caliente Hot Springs Motel" as being one of the few places to stay. What they don't mention is that it's totally disgusting. Trust me, I once worked there. What kind of useful guide book is this if they don't tell you what motels have cigarette burns in the sheets and 20-year-old grunge on the walls?

Summary: Shows what others wont
Comment: Lonely Planet shows the little Calirfornia towns in detail. Towns like Arcata, Chico, Merced to name a few. Others like Fodors dont do this. Great and in depth.
Rating: 3
Summary: wrong turns
Comment: A few wrong turns here and there but generally essential Lonely Planet quality throughout. A good overview. Well written.
