 Good stuff September 21, 2007

Moon's guide to Montana is an unexpected delight. It's in the details: the small towns with unusual histories, the monuments that go unnoticed by the side of the road, the off-the-beaten path places for which we learned to divert our course. If you're interested (as we were not) in AAA Tour Guide type reviews, this will not do the trick. If you really want to learn something about the place through which you're traveling, this is the book. Some of the large attractions, like Glacier National Park, get shorter shrift than in other guidebooks (Foders was one of the others we used), but Moon has a guide specific to Glacier if you want additional info---and it is voluminous! We're converts.
 Not the best, not the worst August 7, 2003

Just finished a 6 week trip through 6 states with the family. We used the Moon books in every other state because they were the best we could find. We (my wife and 8 and 10 year-old kids) thought they all had a lot of information, but were helpful only with pointing out highlights of an area. When it came to finding places, it was lacking in details. They all list restaurants, but only a few in the area. In Montana we were fortunate to find another, much more complete and easy to use book (The Ultimate Montana Atlas). The Moon Montana book went pretty much unread as it never seemed to give us the information we were looking for. Were it the only thing we had to use, it would have sufficed. It is small, which is one advantage, but you will need several other books to supplement it (ie maps, hikes, scenic drives, etc.). You get what you pay for with this book. My advice is to spend a few dollars more and get one that has everything in it.
Thorough, Unique and Interesting December 30, 2001

I would highly recommend any of the Moon Publication Handbooks, the Montana handbook is an excellent example of the accurate, in-depth coverage the Moon Company provides. There are many little things covered in the Moon handbooks that are omitted from the big travel names such as AAA and Frommers. This includes personalized information on ghost towns and local restaurants, and unique details on off the beaten path destinations often omitted from other major travel guides. Keep up the good work Moon!
 A good fill in book March 10, 2000

I bought this along with several other books on Montana. Its a good resource and has a lot of information, but I found it was hard to use. It was more like a textbook that required me to dig and take notes. While they did provide a few maps, they were sketchy and really didn't help me find where things were located. This is compared to the Montana Roadside Directory which I found to be nicely laid out, and easy to use. I would still recommend the purchase of this if your planning a trip as a supplement to other information. It was my second favorite book of the several I bought.
Montana Handbook Gives Great Information June 2, 1999

The Montana Handbook gives very insightfull information on Montana. The book is throughly detailed and is far supior to the AAA tourguide. This book gives information on ghost towns that are in areas not well traveled, and is great for people who want to travel the 2 lane highways of America and see something besides Interstate Highways. If only the Idaho Handbook was half as good.
