I'm sorry I can't be as glowing as the other reviewers. This is the worst "guide" book I have owned. Some basic facts are incorrect, maps are unreadable and very small. More information is given through the park service - and it's free!
 This little book made our vacation to the Dunes a delight. August 23, 1999
We used the guide book to plan the "hike of the day" and saw more of the Park than we ever would without it. We enjoyed the story on the U.S. Life-Saving Station and were able to witness a re-enactment of a rescue. This book is a gem.
