1: the only guide on Niagara Falls
If you are planning to go to Niagara Falls (either US or Canadian side) but do not know what to do after observing the Falls then this is the book for you. The material on Welland Canal, Niagara on the Lake, wineries and the botanical garden were very helpful.
However the book is not perfect: maps that covered both pages were lost in the middle, detailed maps are missing, no restaurent/hotel recommendations.

2: The incomplete "complete guide to Niagara Falls".
The subtitle "The complete guide to Niagara falls and vicinity" is misleading.Its far from being a "complete guide". Many of the Niagara Falls area tourist attractions are omitted, and there is no reference to lodging or restaurants. The book is excellent though, in its nature and historical content. I suggest that a more appropriate subtitle would be "A guide to Niagara's parks, museums and natural resources".

3: The perfect book for a tourist
After reading over a dozen books about Niagara Falls and the region (a hobby of mine), I found this book to be the best of the lot - for a tourist. It's well organized, offers excellent photos and maps, and I especially enjoyed the chapters regarding the Erie Canal in the U.S. and the Welland Canal in Ontario, Canada - both within a 30 minute drive of the falls.The autors offer a number of suggested tours for the tourist - with helpful info on how long each will take. For a more in-depth historical perspective on the falls and the Niagara region, I would recommend Pierre Berton's history of Niagara Falls.
