Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good resource! Comment: This book is a good resource on Edinburgh, especially considering how few books there are on Edinburgh only. The photos are nice, and the book contains good, useful information! Definitely worth getting if you're planning a trip to Edinburgh! Customer Rating: Summary: Don't listen to that other reviewer Comment: 300 pages doesn't even BEGIN to cover Edinburgh. This is a place with a history that makes that of any US city look like an appendix. Stop moaning; if you don't want to learn about Edinburgh, buy a different book! Try a more general book on Scotland, for instance. What a ridiculous criticism to make. I lived in Edinburgh for a year and this book was superb in fleshing out details about the significance of different parts of the city, and in pointing out places that even many locals didn;t know about. It left me feeling like I could get a job as a tour guide. That's exactly what I want from a guidebook. If you don't, fair enough, but don't criticize the book for not being a good match for you.
