Customer Review: 21 Tours Geared for Discovery!
Invaluable information, even if you’re not going to use the exact roads mentioned.

Use this one as the best planning source available and well worth the small investment.
Customer Review: Not so good
My brother and I bought this book and used it to plan our biking trip in the Maritimes in 2001, but we weren’t too happy with the route selection. Too many of the suggested routes were on main roads that were too busy with traffic. Bike touring is best when you get off the main roads, but this book doesn’t help you find them. If you go to PEI, I do recommend that you bike on the clay roads that the book recommends. Don’t follow the coastal roads–too much traffic. I like the Maritimes, in spite of this book!
