5 stars (Happy) - The Maui Trailblazer got us organized and made it easy to roll right along and get a full appreciation of all the things that make Maui so extaordinary. With our crew it scored big, so big we bought a vacation timeshare. 5 stars (Real Maui, sunup to sunset) - Top notch travel writing we both agreed. Their current edition gives you many clever tips for saving money. With Maui Trailblazer, visiting Molokai became a reality and we didn't have to pay a tour company to take us there. Per instructions in the book, we easily made it there and back in one day. The ferry ride and views of Maui from the water made us feel like we were on an expensive cruise and we even spotted whales. You get three islands (they also cover Lanai) in one book, so make sure you stay at least seven days, ten would be even better. Every day was full of fun and many of the hikes our kids could do. Don't miss the Maui Swap Meet! Don't miss the best ever snorkeling out at Molokini! 5 stars (From a hiking fan) - This is Maui's outdoor bible. We've used it two years in a row now and can vouch for its incredible range of activities. It really excels when it comes to detailed driving directions complete with highway mile marker numbers. If it's your first visit, this feature really makes driving around a piece of cake. Clean design and liberal use of photos to illustrate where they're taking you to makes this la creme de la creme of the island guides. Hiking is my passion and I've tried them all. This series is one of the best on the market. ...

5 stars (Cool Book, Great Information for Budding Sports Shooter) - I recently upgraded to a Canon Rebel to photograph my children's gymnastics and soccer events. I had this book on order before it was available, and just got it a few days ago. It has opened my eyes to what I need to actually take photos and not just use the automatic settings -- and it even contains information on these two sports! It explains a lot about digital photography in simple terms, which filled in several gaps for me about digital photography. Plus, my son is into skateboarding and my wife is a skier, so now I can figure out how to take photos of that as well. I also liked the information about what to do with the photos to process them, print them, and get them online. The method shown is easy and seems like it's not jsut meant for professionals; it includes point-and-shoot as well as big-camera info. It's great that there are so many photos and advice from many photographers, not just one. I've already recommended this book to my kids' coaches. Highly recommended! 5 stars (Just what I needed) - Cool book, densely packed with information that is actually useful. Maybe I can now start to live up to the capabilities of my D70 the next time I'm climbing. 5 stars (Deep, indulgent, & complete: A great value!) - This is my first Amazon review. I was motivated to write because this book is a superb resource for anyone wishing to improve their sports photography! As a "soccer mom" with two kids heavily involved in team sports, I had been wrestling with such issues as shutter lag, exposure in fading light, fast action, etc. (You know what I mean!)This book definitely showed me the way to solving those problems and many more -- and it's packed with inspirational action shots and tips from pro sports photographers. It's important to note that it doesn't just cover team sports, however: tennis, boating, adventure sports and other recreational pursuits are also given fine and useful coverage. (I go ...
