Book Reviews of PhotoSecrets Yosemite

Book Review: Not the best guide to Yosemite you could get...
Summary: 3 Stars

This guide had great potential, and when it was published in 1997, it probably was useful. However, this guide has not aged well. Much of the information about the park itself is woefully out-of-date, such as entrance fees, bike rental fees, and programs offered by Park Rangers during the day or evening. Things change - and for this reason, this book badly needs an updated edition. At least one photo should be removed, or its caption edited - the one of the famous Jeffrey Pine that once stood on Sentinel Dome, which fell in 2003. The author attempted to provide information on dates with full moons, but this data was provided only for 1997-2000. Did he anticipate a new edition that didn't materialize?

I also purchased the Michael Frye guide, slightly more expensive, but far superior in my opinion, and the better of the two.

Skip this one, unless you're the kind of photographer looking for those red-and-yellow Kodak signs that say "Stand HERE for a great photo". The maps in this guide tell you where to stand and which direction to look so that your pictures look just like those taken by thousands of other tourists. If your intent is to return home with "post-card" type shots, why not just purchase them at Yosemite and leave the camera at home?
