Insiders' Guide to Richmond, VA (Insiders' Guide Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The last major guide to the hidden "gem" that is Richmond was published in 1999 (also by Globe Pequot). It was well done, but hopelessly outdated by 2010. Local travel writer Maureen Egan has outdone herself with this new edition which while long (300+ pages) is completely readable, accurate, and packed with great recommendations. The restaurant, relocation, and festival chapters are worth the price of the book by themselves. Some of the details in those chapters prove that Egan has legitimately been to all of the places which she writes about. I also appreciate that the book includes a short but serious chapter on Richmond's history (not always found in travel guides!). All in all this is a great guide that is just as useful for longtime residents as it is for visitors and those relocating. Hats off to Egan for meeting so many diverse needs and bringing attention to a great city which deserves more of it!
