Frommer's Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick - Complete Guides 2nd Edition by Barbara Balfour Paperback

About the Book

"Frommer's books aren't written by committee or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We employ the best local experts to author our guides--experts like Pat Lee,who worked as a reporter, editor, and columnist for The Chronicle Herald in Halifax for decades. Since leaving the daily news beat, Lee has traveled the world and explored her own backyard to unearth stories and experiences across Canada and in the Atlantic provinces. Lee introduces readers to the best and most authentic restaurants, hotels, shops, attractions, and nightlife in the Maritimes, providing unique insights into the region's history, natural wonders, and vibrant contemporary culture. Most important, she'll tell you straight out what's worth your precious vacation time--and what you can skip with no qualms."--Amazo
