Summary: "A great idea for Atlantans:"

I like the concept of a "tourbook for residents" and this book carries that off well. These books come in two page sizes and thankfully this one is in the larger size, which is still small enough to fit in a glove box but big enough to read without a magnifier. I'm glad that it covers the Perimeter Mall area, but wish that it also covered the Cumberland Mall and Vinings areas as well. (On the whole, its value for anyone who lives outside the Perimeter is limited.) But if you live in Atlanta, Decatur, Dunwoody, East Point or Sandy Springs then this book is definitely worthwhile.
