I just happened to come across this at the library and am so glad I did. It was very useful in planning the "last" details of our trip. Has regional maps, then smaller maps with descriptions of places to go and things to do. A great resource.

Really interesting, and there were definitely things in this book that I haven't seen so far in any of the guidebooks that I would like to see while we're there. Great pictures and great organization too!

Illustrated Guide to Ireland by Reader's Digest Association (Reader's Digest 1992) (914.15). This is a lovingly-crafted paean to a beautiful land. My rating: 7/10, finished 2013.
