The Adirondack Book: A Complete Guide
by Elizabeth Folwell.
A guidebook with personality, An Amazon reader review
Some of us travel vicariously through guidebooks. My shelves are packed with books about
places I'd love to see. Imagine my surprise when I did get to the Adirondacks and found
that the witty descriptions and interesting background in this guide proved true and
useful. I wish that more travel books showed restaurants, shops, museums and even
bathrooms. I heartily recommend this one! Buy
