Insiders' Guide to Bend and Central Oregon, 2nd

Rating:
Summary: This book SUCKS
Review: No wonder it's 97 cents. I think the authors were paid by the word because it is so over-written. For a town of 63,000 people, the insider's guide should not be this thick. Please. For example, the authors go into lengthy (but useless) detail about the MALL: "Next door to Stride-Rite, which offers a wide variety of footwear, you'll find Spencer's, with a plethora of ecclectic gifts for everyone on your shopping list." I'm making that up, but that's about how ridiculous it is. Hello, it's a MALL. An "insider's guide" should not give a crap about what's at the mall, much less devote page after page to it.
