Just returned today from Cape Cod. This book was very useful. Great lists of events, activities, restaurants, beaches, etc. Book was in excellent condition, just as the seller had described it. Wish we would have had more time to tour Cape Cod and go to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket, but Hurrican Irene put a damper on a lot of our plans... not so much rain, but high winds made for very rough waters. Will definitely use this book if I get a chance to go again...

I bought this at the last minute when I realized the people I was going with hadn't been there in 10-20 yrs! I benefitted from the restaurant reviews & detailed descriptions of several towns, with accompanying one-page maps for most of them AND: a pull-out map (main reason I bought the book!) that had at least the major highways numbered for the whole Cape (although some were shown but were not numbered which was confusing!) and included lighthouses, ferry routes and beaches.
I've used Frommer's books for other trips and have been pleased as well.
I supplement all my travel guides with a look at TripAdvisor.com because (contrary to what Arthur Frommer says) I value opinions from travelers like me and if you use some common sense when evaluating the legitimacy of the reviews, the reward is there. By looking at TA, I compared the reviews to those in this book and they proved to be spot on. Also, I found several great restaurants (& not new ones, either) that were totally omitted from this book...or I would give the Frommer's 5*'s.
I didn't miss the lack of photos one bit.
