I found this book very useful and helpful with my planning of a trip to Savannah in the near future. I enjoyed getting some "heads up" on various locales (and restrictions) having to do with the John Berendt novel "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"...which is of particular interest to me. Also appreciated the price guides for restaurants, and the hotel reviews, which included if the rooms were smoking, restricted smoking, or non-smoking. Will be packing this little book with me when I do go on my "dream trip" to the coast of Georgia!

I just returned from Savannah, and took this guide along. It fits very nicely into a back pocket or purse. It provided a great overview of the area with maps and good descriptions of many of the restaurants (including dividing them into price ranges).
The author couldn't have been more spot-on in describing one River St. bar (hint: they specialize in frozen drinks), and the description made my wife and I laugh out loud.
We followed one of the mapped out walking tours described in the book and it made for a wonderful Saturday afternoon. Given its portability, it can't cover every restaurant, bar or shop, but if you cross-reference what the author recommends against others' opinions- SouthernLiving.com, connectsavannah.com (Savannah's alternative news weekly), and TripAdvisor.com, you'll find many of the same restaurants listed, with similar descriptions.
Purchase the book in advance of making your lodging reservations, as there are a number of bed and breakfasts listed, as well as many hotels.
Yes, there are many references to the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," but given how much it's helped tourism in the area and how many people want to see the places described in that book, the author is just giving the people what they want. I enjoyed the references: I wanted a guide that covered those locations, but not one that focused solely on "The Book" (as it's known to many locals), and this guide provided a nice compromise.
The only drawback I found is that it doesn't list as many restaurants as I'd have liked, but again, given the space limitations, it couldn't. As you walk the streets, you'll stumble across some great little places on your own, and that's half the fun of "exploring" the town.
I consider the guide to be money well spent.

This is supposed to be a travel guide, but is actually more of a disguised advertisement for the book and movie, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." Within the very first 118 pages, the authors make no fewer than 45 references to the story, its characters and places, and glamorization of their alternative lifestyle.
If you've never been to Savannah, this book will lead you to the conclusion that it was nothing prior to the book and movie. Or that all of its history exists only as a backdrop for the book. Save your money.

Recently did a girls trip - the guide was very helpful. We planned lots of our trip prior to our arrival - restaurant suggestions were particularly helpful.

This book gives a nice review of Savannah, from history, to where to stay, what do do, where to eat. It's very compact and will be easy for us to carry along on our trip subsequent week to Savannah.
