Yes it is, very. Not sure if the american readers are as familiar with Rough Guide as European readers are, but it is like Lonely Planet. BIG.
My biggest worry now is that I will have to hire someone to reply to all the emails we will start getting.
They are highlighting our winter snow country experience, rather than our summer biking, which we would prefer, but I guess any mention in Rough Guide is great.
