1.0 out of 5 stars More like an opinionated Hamptons Yellow Pages July 16, 1999

This book would be more useful for those who are VERY frequent vistors to the Hamptons -- but I found it to be less introductory than I wanted as someone who doesn't care where to find a good chimney cleaning company.

5.0 out of 5 stars WoW! Is this book helpful! October 28, 1999
By A Customer

This is, hands down, the best and most practical guidebook to the Hamptons I have seen! Chock-a-block full of really useful information--and done in an anecdotal style that is really easy to read!
