BEST PLACES PORTLAND is a great book about the metro area of Portland, Oregon. It discusses the best nightlife, dining, sightseeing, shopping, and recreation, as well as mentioning little tidbits of trivia about certain areas when relevant. The only flaws, and they're minor ones, is that the radio station list is a bit out of date and only one shopping mall is mentioned. Nevertheless, this book is essential for anyone even remotely interested in the Pacific Northwest in particular and travel in general.
