They don't give you a manual when you buy the QB software. Just needed a reference to look things up easily. I hate having to toggle between window frames on the computer trying to find an answer to a problem.

Be warned that "White Dots" actually means "brown dots". Or maybe they are black dots, I can't tell, but they definitely are not white dots. Still soft though, so I'm keeping it.

Love this guide book. Lots of details and specific recommendations for lodging and food. Have ordered several of the recommended reading materials from local library.

The previous year's version of Norton came pre-installed a year or so back when I purchased a new computer. Not being familiar with Norton, I decided to "let it ride." I found that as long as I paid attention, and periodically did the updates and security sweeps, Norton kept me out of trouble. When the first year was up, I had pretty much decided to re-up with the newest version. The surprise was the price - which seemed to be all over the place, from mega-absurdly high to lo-low, depending upon the vendor. Fortunately, Amazon came to the rescue (again!). Bought it here and saved enough loot for some other goodies. Yes, you have to jump through an extra hoop or two, but if a non geek like me can do it, anyone can! Best price on the web for Norton is right here!

I highly recommend it. This is a great hard-bound version is full of information. I have had the soft cover versions in past years, and this is a very nice addition to keep for years to come. The 3D viewing options throughout makes it a very unique version. The pictures are in color and it makes it very appealing to read.
