[John Peel · Rating 3 out of 5]

Halifax is a delightful city, and this is an amiable introduction to the city. Lots of great photos accompany a readable text in a swift guide to the place. Curiously, though, there's no mention of the "Titanic" graveyard, one of the biggest tourist attractions in the city.
