Reviews

[Christine Jeffords · Rating 4 out of 5]

By my actual count, there are no less than 634 attractions listed in this profusely illustrated volume, more than half of which are only mentioned in passing in the sidebars--but the fact that they're there at all at least gives the reader a name to look up. Historic sites, amusement parks, shopping, natural wonders, sporting events and more, even at least one ice-cream parlor--they're all here. The book is arranged by geographic section, beginning in New England and going on to finish up with Alaska and Hawaii. The only reason I don't give it five stars is that so many of the places are only briefly referred to. This would be a great book to start out with when you're trying to decide where to go on your next few vacations--maybe start out with the section where you live and fan out from there.

Nice book but I'm surprised there aren't more places that people DON'T know about. It's pretty standard fare. Read it.
