This thing saved my butt last year.
I took a trip to Boston, and drove from Boston to Inverness, Nova Scotia on Cape Breton Island.
I went the scenic route, cutting through Maine to Calais / St Stephen, where I crossed the border into New Brunswick.
I had an atlas, I had maps, I had been studying maps of the entire Eastern seaboard for months and months. This was a solo journey so I wanted to be prepared. I decided to get the Lonely Planet guide on a whim. I figured I couldn't have too much information!
The thing about the Maritime Provinces that outsiders don't know, is that it's nearly impossible to get any good information on them from the conventional sources (internet, etc). Enter Lonely Planet guides.
The biggest way this book helped me was when I was in Saint John, NB which is where I stayed overnight between Boston and Cape Breton.

I ordered 2 tour books on Nova Scotia from Amazon for a trip my husband and I are planning in April. The other book was Fodor's Nova Scotia. I have read both books from cover to cover and decided the Lonely Planet book on Nova Scotia will be the more useful one to take with us, along with the book and map from AAA that I got (for free) on the Maritime Provinces of Canada.
