reisgids Nova Scotia (Bradt)

Prima reisgids voor zelfstandige reizigers. Uitgebreider dan een Lonely Planet of Rough Guide. Bevat info omtrent plaatsen en bezienswaardigheden, routesuggesties, leuke tips en diepgaande achtergrondinformatie. Veel aandacht voor de praktische details omtrent vervoer en verblijf. Met enkele stadsplattegrondjes en hier en daar wat summiere overzichtskaartjes. Overigens sober geïllustreerd.
