2: An Excellent Guide Gets Even Better
This is, simply, the only guide you'll want or need for visiting the Berkshires. It seems to improve a little with each addition. I gave the last edition four stars. I'd give this one four and a half (if Amazon would let me.) Having travelled all over the world and found few spots to rival the Berkshres for quiet, unspoiled beauty, wonderful place to bike and hike and rich cultural offerings, I am glad to have found a guidebook worth of this worthy place.

3: The finest and most complete guidebook for the Berkshires
This is easily the best guidebook available for the Berkshires (a remarkable region of natural and cultural beauty in Western Massachusetts.) Extensive, in-depth chapters not cover every attraction, restaurant, and type of lodging available in the region, but also provide a wealth of information on the history and culture of the region. If you're a day tripper visiting The Calarke Art Institute in the morning and the Norman Rockwell museum in the afternoon, you probably don't need this book, but if you're staying in the Berkshires for an extended time and long to really understand what makes this place so fascinating, you'll want a copy of The Berkshire Book in your suitcase.
