Let's just acknowledge the 8,000 pound pink elephant in the room, shall we? Why bother with print guidebooks anymore? Read this introduction from the current edition of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket: An Explorer's Guide to find out why.

Now that you're convinced about its value, let's go one step further in summarizing: The guide features hour-by-hour itineraries for "A Perfect Day in [every town]" to plan your getaway days. And it has suggested 3 to 14 day itineraries (as well as ideas for those lucky enough to already live on the Cape.) And it features hundreds of reviews for lodgings of every stripe, dining reviews covering everything from clam shacks to four-star bistros, and tons of opinionated and information-rich ideas about things to see and do -- no matter your tastes or budget. Handy icons identify places that are open year-round, family- or pet-friendly or have free wi-fi.

Wanted to tell you that we completely agree with your rave review of ABBA and found your other food recommendations also very reliable ... Thanks for your hard work writing such a reliable travel guide." -- Rhonda S; June 10, 2008

"We recently had a wonderful week in Falmouth. Prior to our trip we read your Explorer's Guide cover to cover. It was so well written and very helpful. I'm glad we had it to use." -- Martha R; June 20, 2008
