The good things:
The format is nice. It's a ring binder with a flap extension, which makes it easy to find the location you want.
It has a lot of hikes and suggestions for hikes.
The bad things:
The maps ar few and far between, and are useless for hiking. There are a few large scale overview maps, and very few maps of the hikes themselves. The hike maps are too large-scale to be of any use for individual hikes, and have no topographical information on them. You get an idea of where the hikes are in relation to each other, but as to using them for hiking, forget it. Buy a map before you set off.
Conclusion:
A great book to get ideas about where to hike, but do not use this as your only resource for hikes.
