Not so much read as used-and used often! It takes a lot to make a good guidebook, and this one rocks. Plus I've lived in the subject city for over ten years, and I still find it really useful. Rumor has it updated edition is close...

[Shawnie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yes- the rumor is correct. The second edition is due to be released mid-June 2008!

[Megan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very helpful, but also way too much information. Could easily be 1/2 the content and still be very helpful, far exceeding the info provided by other guides. That would allow for a bigger, easier to read type. It would also be nice if all the type was darker. The type choices make this book surprisingly hard to read.

Not so suitable as a travel guide, more for people who come to live in this town - of course it would need a ton of 2024 updates.

Well, I skimmed through this and read bits and pieces in preparation for an overnight stay. Parts of it were pretty useful for my purposes. Most of the book would be more useful for someone planning a longer trip or relocation.

A useful Columbus guide book full of lots of good information.
