Find Best Price at Amazon"The maps in "Top 10 Toronto" were easy to read, and helpful when using rapid transit. However, the maps are a bit small, even the pull-out map that comes with the guidebook. I purchased and carried this as well, in case I needed a bit more map detail: Streetwise Toronto Map - Laminated City Center Street Map of Toronto, Canada (Streetwise (Streetwise Maps))."
"It even gave detailed walking tours through the sites & neighborhoods I visited."
"There are tons of pictures. I'll mention tons of pictures again because if you compare this to a Fodor's side by side you will see why you want this one."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Toronto and the Top 10 guide helped us find our way."
"Pretty good!"
"For a brief visit to Toronto, this is an excellent source."
"This is the best guide book on Toronto I've read (and I've read a bunch) It gives a lot of information, but doesn't overwhelm you."

I thought it was funny that he had a full size refrigerator in his dorm room stocked with beer. Not very classy - knowing that the Blackhawk owner and the coach at the time were not extending his contract, but had a spot for him in the front office."
"While this isn't as poetically presented as other similar books, there is a lot of important information, as chelios played for 3 decades in the nhl."
"It was the best book I've ever read."
"He does talk about being a Badger and even more about Madison bars."
"As I read this autobiography of Chicago native Chris Chelios, I would swear that it was a discussion that he and I were having about his hockey career."
"According to the reader (a former 10-year travel hockey player) he says there are some really interesting stories Chelios shares and he feels it is well worth the money."
"His passion for the game and all out commitment to be the best he good be for as long as he played the game gave me a respect for Chris that more players could learn from."
"Mostly a chronological telling of Cheli's career, with some amusing anecdotes and efforts to "set the record straight" on key moments."

"Stanley Park for instance, closed their kids petting zoo/farm years ago."
"Used this handy pocket guide on our trip to Canada."
"The organization of the topics are a little odd. Some of the "see page xx" references are not correct, the editor messed up on the cross referencing of topics."
"I purchased this before a July 2012 vacation to Vancouver, encouraged by the good DK Eyewitness guides to European cities (which I've used and swear by)."
