The book's strengths seem to be the author's preoccupation with state parks, trails, and outdoor activities, to the exclusion of other sights, activities, and towns. Compared to other Moon Handbooks (a guide book series which I generally love), this one leaves out the detailed maps that normally distinguish this series, as well as town by town information. Two examples: try finding detailed info on Punxatawny--it's not there. You have to look on several different pages to piece together information on the town, instead of it being located all together under a single town listing. The same occurs with Indiana, PA--the quaintest town imaginable and all of it resembling a back lot for "It's a Wonderful Life"--but the only mention about the entire town is the Jimmy Stewart Museum...very odd, considering the town is home to a 15,000-student university and two National Historic Register buildings, well worth visiting in their own right.
The whole book feels scatter-shot, disorganized, and filled with gaps. It certainly doesn't live up to the standards of the Moon Handbook Series.
