Summary: Oxford for any traveller
Comment: This guide is the kind of tour book I love; richly descriptive, and it doesn't hold back on the details. It is filled with pictures and historical exerpts as well as great pub guides and college information. Having spent some time in Oxford I can honestly say that the book was true to the feel of the old town, and was a clear and vivid portrait of the sights and sounds of one of my favorite places in the world!! The practical information in the back caters to the tourist; the college guide caters to future students, the nearly 100-page section at the beginning is perfect for the ameteur historian with it's pages on the monarchy of old and the origins of each custom, building, and college. The founding of the colleges, events, and other features are detailed, and interests of every kind can be researched in this compact text. Maps abound throughout and illustrate different aspects of the college for a walker, driver, or bicyclist with great clarity. I was amazed to realise that I had read the entire book in one sitting. I may never go back to the travel books full of text, because they don't excite the reader for his/her trip, they are hard to get through, and they are downright dull to read.
