Insiders' Guide to Denver, 5th

Summary: The Mile Hi Epic
Review: Jana Miller's epic over the city 5,280 feet in the air. The book covers everything from the cities gothic beginnings to its prurient present. Along with her pen pal Stitch, Miller pieces together an opus about the gateway to the Rockies that will keep you turning the pages and finding the appropriate place to dine.

Summary: The Insiders' Guide to Denver--4th Edition
Review: This guidebook was a disappointment. The index is poorly constructed making it useless for cross-referencing. For example. under the section for the Denver Botanic Gardens it lists it as a "CC trolley stop," which is not listed in the index and which I could never find a reference for in the guidebook. Several of the restaurants listed in the book have gone out of business and one that we tried to find hadn't been in business for several years. When I visited a large bookstore in Denver, a display table with many recommended guidebooks to the area did not include this one. By the end of my trip, I had stopped using it.

Summary: Great Book, helped out a LOT!
Review: This last spring, my husband and I spent two months in Denver on a business trip. We purchased the Insider's Guide to Denver before we left, and I did a lot of reading before we departed. So when I got there, I already knew a lot. Then, while we were there, we used this book everyday. The maps were outstanding, they helped us navigate the whole time we were there. We also used the restaurant section a lot, and the activities section. We were never without something to do, because if we found ourselves with a free moment, all we needed to do was whip out this book, and off we went to another great place. This book has many creases in it now, and it was the greatest book we could have bought. I highly recommend it! The only thing was I found some things had changed since the book was last updated, and it could use another edition.
