The book is great, but makes the same mistake that Weird NJ used to make in giving specific directions to all the sites discussed. I learned a bunch of new things from her book and was impressed but cringed everytime she would say something like "go 100 feet passed the fork in the road and walk 200 feet to the northwest and there are the remaining pieces of the so--and-so lost village". I liked Beck's approach SO much better even with the inaccuracy. It made the mystique that much thicker and made you have to do some of your own research, which gave me a wider appreciation and more of a learning experience. Blah, blah, blah. I'm glad she's had a success with it though and hopefully it will have some positive effect.
