Each Frommer's guide is personally researched and thoroughly updated by a single author or a small team. Our guides have a fun, intensely personal voice and a real person's judgments you can trust. Mark Hiss spent five years as the editor of Where magazine in San Diego, and he recently contributed to Frommer's California 2007.
