Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Lonely Planet never lets you down….this slim book contains a ton of information on Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island….there is even a tiny bit of information on how to get and stay in St. Pierre & Miquelon (An overseas department of France!) I really enjoyed the information and tiny maps. Highly recommended.

⭐I have been using Lonely Planet books for years. I travelled all over Asia and Europe for 7 years with Lonely Planet. They were not small books, but they were worth carrying in the backpack for their wealth of useful information. I couldn’t say enough good things about their books. This book on Nova Scotia on the other hand was a huge disappointment, as well as a total waste of time and money. The authors did a poor job at researching the areas, missing important historical facts and pertinent information. One hotel suggested by the book in Cape Breton was so horrific and dilapidated from the outside that we didn’t even stop, we kept driving, it made sleeping in the car sound like a great option. After a few attempts at using it, the book spent the rest of the trip in the back of the car. Don’t waste your money on that one, ask the locals, they are very friendly. Lonely Planet if you are reading this, sorry to say, but you may want to reassess how you vet your writers, the content is very poor in this book, at times, irrelevant.

⭐Gave us some neat tips. It was tough to keep referring to a book though, cell phones are so tempting. But, analogue travel guide is fail safe.

⭐Great book but the print was very very small had to send back.

⭐They need more pictures, but it is the best travel guide I’ve seen for the area!

⭐Some of the information was out of date. We used it for Newfoundland and often things were incorrect.

⭐Positive things: it’s new. The “Understanding NS/NB/PEI” section was very interesting and made me wish there were more to it.First off – and this is by far my biggest beef with this book – the cover is not correct; it also covers Newfoundland and Labrador. I don’t see this as a “you get 52 extra pages on something else also!”, I see it as “you bought a book that has 52 pages on something you didn’t know about and potentially don’t care about, which could have been spent on 52 pages more on the three things listed on the cover!” Seriously, the Newfoundland and Labrador section is way bigger than the PEI section and even bigger than the New Brunswick section. I’m perfectly competent to buy a book on Newfoundland if I wanted it, but this book wasn’t supposed to be about that, so why are all these pages dedicated to it? You want to know what the “Top 10” sites for “Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island” is? Well, buy a ferry ticket because you’ll have to go to Newfoundland for numbers 5 and 8. It’s like nobody was paying attention to this. I would have definitely bought a different book had I realized a lot of it was covering somewhere I was not visiting.Have from a few days to two weeks to visit “NS/NB/PEI”? Their itineraries will not have you set foot on Cape Breton Island (which is a big part of Nova Scotia). Only their “head straight to Newfoundland” tour would have you go through Cape Breton Island. I can’t take their recommendations very seriously if this is the only itinerary they offer to travelers that recommends travelers go to Cape Breton Island. Just TWELVE pages of this entire book are devoted to CBI, which is, for my money, the most beautiful and interesting part of NS/NB/PEI. Thinking that more of the Newfoundland/Labrador section could have been used for pages on CBI made me much more frustrated.Also, I found the accommodations section to be almost useless, but this might be an issue with the Lonely Planet style. On my previous trip to the region, and my upcoming one, out of 18 total nights spent in NS/NB/PEI, only two of those nights were/will be spent in places mentioned in this book. It just doesn’t list many places at all in the cities and towns it covers. I’m much more likely to find good information about lodging on the big online trip advising website or by using Google Earth to look for accommodations in those places I will be visiting.By the way, I’m surprised they even spelled Prince Edward Island correctly on the front, seeing how they call it “Price Edward Island” in big bold letters twice (on page 153 and 158).This is the only travel book I bought for my upcoming trip there, and I wish it would have been more helpful for the places I am visiting.

⭐The book was in very good condition with hardly any markings by previous owner. It probably was a little out of date with some Accomodation and Eating suggestions but on the whole very useful for background and historical information about the various regions of Nova Scotia. It did help to purchase a road map to use with the book though, plus an information leaflet on distances between major towns and Halifax as we drove ourselves for a fortnight. We were pleased to get the book earlier than the predicted delivery date so we could plan a route beforehand.

⭐Another great Lonely Planet guide with detailed information on even the smallest towns and villages

⭐good travel guide book

⭐Excellent, full of useful information except for money items (out of date).

⭐Lonely Planet format does not translate well to Kindle.

⭐I should have listened to the other reviews. Very disappointing for a Lonely Planet book. Will take it on my trip but did most of my travel planning online. Don’t count on this one for decent information- very little time was put into it.
