Excellent5
Loved the information in this book. Very descriptive and will aide in enjoying Alaska more when I go.

Alaska's southeast3
A good book to read for history and a lot of great information, but is not as practical for specifics as I thought. Not really a place by place tour guide. But a pretty good read, nonetheless.

Very informative5
Glad I took this on our Alaskan cruise. Very informative and worth the cost.
