Schwam, has written four books and numerous articles about New Orleans, where her long-ago decision to become a resident followed, she says, a familiar sequence: Vacation, Enrapture, Home Ownership, and Weight Gain! In this up-dated, 2015 Easy Guide, she'll introduce you, among many other topics, to the world- famous cuisine of that city's unique restaurants and the historic architecture of its French Quarter, Garden District, and other renowned locales.

Selling for a lower price than any similar guidebook, and deliberately limited to a short 256 pages, this EasyGuide is an exercise in creating easily-absorbed travel information. It emphasizes the authentic experiences in each destination:the most important attractions, the classic method of approaching a particular destination; the best choices for accommodations and meals; the best ways to maximize the enjoyment of your stay. Because it is "quick to read, light to carry", it is called an "EasyGuide", and reflects Arthur Frommer's lifetime of experience in presenting clear and concise travel advice.
