Perfect Pocket Guide August 25, 2008
Perfect guide that fits in your pocket. Information was detailed enough so that I was able to get around to all the major points of interest waterfront, pioneer square, japanese gardens, and Oregon's waterfalls without any additional resources.
It also contained a number of great recommendations of food from breakfast to dinner. Four stars and not five because the maps could have been a little more detailed.
 Great Pocket-Sized Guide To Portland July 19, 2008
FROMMER'S PORTABLE PORTLAND is a great book about Portland. It has all of the information- i.e. where the best sightseeing, dining, nightlife, shopping, and outdoor activities are- that you'd find in a full-sized book, but in a volume that you can take on the bus in your carry-on to tune out difficult people. In other words, this is a small book with all the information of a much larger volume, only not as bulky. This book is essential for anyone even remotely interested in the Pacific Northwest.
Good for a pocket guide October 16, 2007
This is an oversized pocket guide. Fits great in a coat pocket but not too well in pants pocket. Has great map. Gives reviews of about 50 or so eateries. The 'Best Places' guide is much better though.
A must-have for Portland travel. May 14, 2007

This is a great resource for a short trip to Portland. The small size fits easily in a pocket or purse. We tried several restaurants listed in the guide and all were excellent. I suggest Jake's seafood and Bijou Cafe for breakfast. Also check out the Mount Hood loop directions in the book--no trip to Portland will be complete without this!

I would have liked this book to be more intra-regional and do more talking about the green zones around the metropolitan area but as far as detailing what's what in Portland itself, I have no criticism. Also some nice maps came along with this book, which is handy.
