National Geographic Guide to America's Hidden Corners 1 review National Geographic Society
National Geographic, 1999
Here's a great book about some not well known great places.
Although you could probably find books on the Four corners, the Gulf Coast, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Chesapeake Bay, the Great Basin, the Ozarks, and the badlands/prairies of the Upper Midwest, it would take you a very long time, and a lot of money to find books covering these regions as ...

America's National Parks Collection 3 reviews Various
Questar, 2004
Excellent overview of many national parks
I had borrowed these from the local public library and always wanted to buy a copy for myself. When my parents visited me here for the first time some months ago, I could not take them to a national park; so, I bought this set for them. They were amazed at the variety of parks (picked from all over ...

Let's Go 2004: USA (Let's Go USA) 2 reviews Inc. Let's Go
Let's Go Publications, 2003
Skimpy compared to the other guide, however....
+ Let's Go and get an earlier edition
Let's Go is, hands down, the best USA guide for a backpacker, a student, or a Gen X or Gen Y person on a tight budget.. You will not find the fancy, posh, "Oh darling, this is stupendous" hotel or elegant restaurant in this guide. Rather, you will find accommodations that include where to pitch ...

Life: America's Most Scenic Drives : On the Nation's Highways and Byways (Life Books) 1 review Editors of Life Magazine
Life, 2004
Disappointed
The Book Description in the Editorial Review describes "the LIFE Scenic Drives Atlas." Which may be a book that exists somewhere. But it is not this book. From the description I expected an ATLAS, a collection of maps along with descriptions of marked scenic roads and highways, and included ...

On the Road 624 reviews Jack Kerouac
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1976
The Day After Superman Died
+ Great book about youth
I began this book with weary thoughts, suspecting some Beatles, hippie mumbo jumbo about life, love and drugs. I was right but also dead wrong. After reading it I can fully understand why this is thought of as the definitive read from the beat generation.
It's basically a crazed story on life on ...

Road Trip Journal 1 review Chronicle Books LLC Staff

This book is a blank journal with inspirational quotations at the bottom of each page meant to give the writer an "on the road" type feel. The quotations were quite interesting and always pertained to being on the road. I used this road trip while traveling across country and I actually looked ...

I've been using this book to help me find and appreciate scenic drives for about 4 years now, and while a few items are starting to get dated, it's still amazingly useful. The heavy paper and solid binding has kept it from falling apart in spite of 4 years of being tossed around and spilled on and ...

`America's National Parks' is not only a video tour of these locations, it is also something of a history and trivia lesson in that a good amount of information is offered about each area. As far as visuals are concerned, the cinematography really is something special to look at. The narration ...

Fodor's How to Take a Road Trip, 1st Edition: Getting Organized Makes Getting There So Much More Fun ... 3 reviews Fodor's
Fodor's, 2003
Don't Waste Your Time
Unless you've had someone coddle you your whole life, Fodor's How to Take a Road Trip is a waste of time. Banal common sense info you don't need to buy. For example, it takes a whole page to explain where to find a road map: bookstore, autoclub, gas station, on line, rest stops. Don't expect any ...

While on the road (Las Vegas, Arizona and New Mexico) I reviewed three USA guides (Fodor's, Frommer's and Let's Go) and, for those for whom money is not a primary issue, my first choice would be this guide. Fodor's layout is great. The guide took you through a city in an intuitive manner. For ...
