1. The Earnests have given us a very readable and gloriously illustrated book with attention to all the recognized fraktur types and many of the most desirable artists. This survey will delight anyone who has an interest in folk art.

1. I have about a dozen of these maps and have used them to get a round NYC, Washington,D.C. and Barcelona, Spain. It's the ONLY map I would recommend as a frequent traveler. It has all the points of interest in a simple format. apart from my Garmin GPS, it's my best resource.

1. The only maps I know of that are more detailed than this atlas are a topographical maps. If you want those for an entire state it's going to be really expensive. With this atlas and a compass there is no where in the state that you can't get to. Want to find a shorter way to get from Erie to State College, this atlas has detailed backroads. Want to find a place to go camping in PA? Check out this atlas.



2. It's Wednesday evening. You're trying to think of something new and different to do with you weekend. Your loved one(s) are bored and restless and want to do something different. It's all up to you... What to do...

   If you've been there before, there is one solution - this book of great maps. In addition to the detailed accuracy of the maps, there is a great section that details locations of interest, places to go, things to do, phone numbers you can call to make arrangements and get info. This could be the book that saves your weekend!

   Stored in your car, it could also be the book that get's you where you want to go without driving to a gas station to get directions. If you've tried that lately, you know that your chances of getting good directions to far-off places are slim to none.

   I have purchased several of these books - one for each state that I frequent. Whenever I want to get away, I take them out and see what I can find. We have visited covered bridges, homes built by Frank Lloyd Wright, cliffs and caves, museums and all kinds of historic landmarks.

   For the price of a nice meal, you will have a travel companion for many years to come. While you can get maps on the internet, most of us still don't have that at our disposal when we are on the road. This book will be your guide!




3. It's a map. That's what it is. And a very detailed and useful one, at that. It's difficult to write a review for a...map. But this is the one you should buy.



4. I was hoping this would be as excellent as the Maine Gazeteer, but it isn't. It is a topographical map, which is fine if all you want to do is hike mountains. But if you want street names and town names better grab a magnifying glass. Tiny print and roads drawn in pastel colors is not really helpful. Disappointing.



5. We have gone on several vacations with our DeLorme book maps. This is definately the way to see the countryside.

1. In a 4 day business trip, I used this steet guide extensively, and found it to well worth the price. I wear bifocals, and yet found the guide easy to use. It also is very handy,as it easily fits into a coat pocket.



2. I normally love these maps, but the Philly one is terrible for getting to a Phillies game. It still lists Veteran's stadium as the ballpark, but this was demolished two years ago. In addition, there is no detail view of this section of town. This map is good overall though, and good for center city, just not for the game.



3. This worked great for me! If you are interested in getting around historic Philly it is super. We carried it everywhere and used it several times every day. It's good for finding your way or identifying one of the dozen historical buildings or sites in the area. First time tourists...buy this.



4. This has everything you need. I used every map on it - city, historic area, subways, busses and general area. It is plastic laminated and folds to a convenient size. This is a must for seeing Philadelphia.



5. I am living abroad and will be moving the Philadelphia in a few months. I'm currently looking for both jobs and apartments as well as trying to get a feel for the city before my wife and I arrive. This map looked like a great choice. Unfortunately, it was not.
   The map has several parts, including a very large scale highway map, but what I was looking for was a "streets of Philly" map, and judging from the name of this map, that's what I thought I was getting. However, according to this map, Philadelphia consists only of what's between South Street and Fairmont Ave, between UPenn campus and the river. Forget West Philly or North Philly, forget Germantown/Mt. Airy (an area where I am specifically interested in living), forget Temple University or Fishtown/Northern Liberties/Kensington, forget Queen Village/Bella Vista/Passyunk Square - these major areas of the city are either completely missing or cut off after a few streets. I mean, there's an arrow mark on the map that says "Italian Market, 2 Blocks South"! The Italian Market is a fixture of South Philly, and it's not even on this map!
   If I lived in the US now I'd be sending this map back. As it is, it would cost me as much in postage as I paid for it, so instead I'm using it as a bookmark for Anderson's "The Code of the Street" (btw, Germantown Avenue, which figures largely in Anderson's book, is also missing from this map). After that... maybe I'll iron the map into an interesting placemat. I mean, it is well laminated. (And that's about the best I can say for this waste of $7.00 plus shipping to Japan.)
   Rather than take a chance on another sight-unseen map, I'm just printing off Google's map pages and taping them together. If you are looking for a map of Philadelphia and thinking about this one, look elsewhere.
