When I travel, I like to use Lonely Planet or Rough Guides as my guides. Rough Guides are good for small areas because they are good at narrow, but deep, descriptions. Lonely Planet is good at describing a wide variety of areas that aren’t deep about these area, so would fit bigger areas.
This book covers a large, multi-varied, US state, with not so much in it, so might not fit Rough Guides so well. You don’t get huge detail, about a place with not much in it, but you do get a lot of choice (about what to do) in any area you visit.

Really great overview of places to go, where to stay and eat, and things to do in Alaska. A lot of details including medical care locations, post offices, and where to buy groceries. Included cultural and historical info, too. If our trip wasn't already planned, this would be the perfect resource! I'm thinking of buying a copy to have on hand while traveling as a reference.

i love lonely planet guides; they're well-put together and sarcastic. i wish this one had a few more maps, but was happily informed throughout my trip.
