International Newcomer's Guide to Boston

Summary: I've tried it and it works!
Review: Having lived in four countries now I found this book to be very helpful. It avoided the US tendency towards far too much information which shows great discipline by the authors in achieving this as the needs of the newly arrived vary tremendously, and it is a large US city.

It is a handy companion size and is easily referred to giving need to know information which is a brilliant support tool in the early stages of a move. It delivered what I expected and was really the lynchpin of a successful, happy move here to Boston.

Summary: An Essential Resource
Review: I am not an international newcomer. I recently moved to Boston from Seattle to attend graduate school. Nevertheless, "International Newcomer's Guide to Boston" by Karen Rudick, Anne Copeland and Helenann Wright provided both the practical and the essential information that any newcomer to the Boston area would require.

The book is brimming with the answers to those common sense questions that newcomers almost always have. Topics include driving a car in Boston, accessing utilities and Boston's weather. For international newcomers, this book is a comprehensive orientation to living in the United States, in addition to the insightful Boston area information.

In sum, this is a practical guide that is written in clear, concise language and is a "must-buy" for anyone arriving in Boston from other countries or distant regions in the United States.

Summary: International Newcomer's get help!
Review: When we moved to the States we found this book practical and informative in it's content. The fact that quotes were used from other expats made you feel "yes, other people have done this, met the same seemingly trivial difficulties and survived" . It was not overwhelming in the information it gave and pointed you in the right direction if you needed to find out more.
