Title: Maps are too small to be useful.
Review: I was pretty disappointed with this guidebook. The introductory textual information on Colorado is helpful, but because the guide primarily shows maps, this text information is very limited in scope.The maps that comprise the bulk of the guide are too small and compressed to be of any use. All the features shown on the maps are way too tiny to be read with the naked eye. You need a magnifying glass to make out most of the details. And even with a magnifying glass, the dark lines or text against dark green or brown backgrounds make seeing the details quite difficult.Other mapbooks which I saw in many gas stations, 7-Elevens, etc. while I was traveling in Colorado, are much easier to read and offer plenty of detail for getting around the state by car. For detailed backcountry information, you're still better off buying official topo maps at the numerous ranger stations and outdoor stores scattered around the state.
