Very thorough guide to Monterey, California

We recently planned a trip to Monterey and wanted to know as much about the area to make the trip more enjoyable. This book is an excellent guide to the shops, hotels, businesses, restaurants, etc. There are sections about the nearby beaches, local attractions, and even a bit of history of the area. One of my favorite details about the book are the Insiders Tips throughout the guide. These tidbits give you information about specific attractions that only the local authors could know. An excellent read.
I love Monterey

There are only a handful of guidebooks about the Monterey Penninsula, and this is the best one. It is reliable, well-organized, and well-written. I have spent a while living in Monterey, and reference it often.
An excellent book that will serve many readers

This is an excellent book, not only for tourists and visitors to the Monterey Peninsula, but also for those considering relocating there (like me). I wanted a book about the region that describes the neighborhoods and towns in order to get a general feel for the area (information pertinent to those contemplating a move), and this book does just that. It is amazing how much information the authors have managed to jam into each page, and they have included a good deal of local history. The book is written in a witty, engaging, almost conversational style. Unlike many books of this genre, the blurbs about restaurants, inns, and everything else are written descriptively, rather than subjectively or from the authors' personal points of view (which may differ from the reader). In short, this is a very well-written book from two people who clearly love the peninsula on which they live!
Excellent resource and guide to a beautiful area.

This book was invaluable to our trip to this beautiful area. A very informative, fun read and a great way to learn about where to go, what to see, and what's available. I highly recommend this book.
