Returning the NY books to BPL

Originally uploaded by Raymond Yee.

I highly recommend the Berkeley Public Library as a source of fravel books. Instead of buying guides that I'm not likely to ever use again, I like to go to the BPL where I can often pick up the most current edition.

I also learned in this recent trip to New York that physically compact guides are the most useful on the road, especially those with restaurant recommendations. It is when I'm up and about that I need information that I couldn't have prepared ahead of time.
