A travel guide that can be read as a regular book
The book is rich on easily understood maps, bright illustrations and interesting facts. In the end, not only it provides service information but makes you aware of local etiquette and manners as well. Jim Morekis, the author, definitely spared no expense telling the reader about every place, either huge or small, in details. You’ll probably want to read it like a regular book even if you’re not planning to go to Georgia in the near future, because its cosy design and vast presentation are worth it.Writing seems to be well thought out and, therefore, clear, so people whose native language isn’t English, i. e. foreigners like me, are able to understand everything, or almost everything that is mentioned in the guide (maybe with some help of a dictionary but that’s individual).I wish the text size was a little bit bigger to make it always comfortable to read. However, since it’s a travel guide what, in turn, implies light weight and portability, with all the great information inside it, I won’t even think of it as a disadvantage.Delivery to Russia took 6 days. The package arrived undamaged. Thank you.

Interesting and Informative
Very easy to read guide for our family holiday to the state of Georgia USA. Never been to the USA as a family before so needed a handy guide and this guide gave us all we needed to know about visiting this state, where to go, what to expect, where to eat and much more. Easy to keep in your handbag too.

A little underwhelming as a travel guide
I am a Tennessee native, have been to Georgia many times, and was hoping to find some new places of interest to visit that I could not find on my own searching the internet. I was disappointed--the book is fairly "light" as far as number of pages for Moon travel guides. The guide is well organized and easy to understand, but fell short in being helpful as a tourism guide. Most of the book's attention is devoted to Atlanta (63 pages) and Savannah (53 pages) (the author was apparently born and grew up in Savannah).The section on North Georgia barely received any attention--a mere 38 pages and that includes discussing Augusta and Athens.. This area of the state is beautiful--concentrated with waterfalls, mountains, quaint bed and breakfasts, etc. Accommodations and places to eat are barely addressed in this section--I have stayed in two wonderful bed and breakfasts in the area (one has been there over 20 years) and neither was mentioned in the book. The "highlights" were perplexing also--Tallulah Gorge State Park is not a highlight but Helen, Georgia is???? AND how could you LEAVE OUT Toccoa Falls and Camp Toccoa military museum and memorial??? The lack of information in the section makes it appear the author has never even visited the North Georgia area....The section on Middle and South Georgia appears to have decent coverage, but I am not as familiar with this area, so perhaps significant information is omitted in this section also??I've used Moon guides for years. I love the format, and most of the time I've found great success using them. Occasionally, a guide falls short like the Georgia guide. So, if you want to visit Atlanta or Savannah--buy the book--or maybe just look up the information on the internet yourself.

Much more than a travel guide
If I were a betting person, I'd bet that those born and raised in Georgia could learn a lot from Moon Georgia. Well written and entertaining, it covers everything from where to get the best cup o' Joe to Southern etiquette.

Really?
The font size of the letters in this book measure barely 1/32 of an inch. There is probably plenty of good info in here but this book clearly isn't intended for my 70 year old eyes. I'm not asking for a "large print" edition; why don't they just offer a "normal print" edition.

Bad print
Hopefully this was a one time printing issue, but the bottom of each page is cut off. So I can't even read it.
