Along Interstate-75: The "Must Have" Guide for Your Drive to and from Florida

by Dave Hunter

Along Interstate-75, from Detroit to the Florida Border.

Interstate-75 is the main route for the millions of Midwestern "snowbirds" who drive to and from Florida each winter . . . and the current edition of Along I-75 is the "must have" guide for the trip.

Whether a first-timer or one who has driven the route for many years, the book is packed with local information along the way, a culmination of more than 50 years of the author's Florida-bound I-75 driving experience.

Getting there is half the fun—Local knowledge, "Insider" and Money Saving tips, lodging & restaurant recommendations and mile-by-mile roadside stories and entertainment.

Each of the book's 25 mile-per-page colored strip-maps takes an average of 30 minutes to drive, providing a sense of pacing for your trip - excellent for planning your night stops while on the route.

The two sets of custom-designed maps (south and northbound) are intuitive and very easy to use - even for non-map readers. Each "fits" your direction of travel so landmarks and features drawn on the right side of the map, pass on the right side of your car.

Designed with in-car use in mind, the book has a laminated wrap-around cover and book mark flap. A concealed plastic spiral binding allows the book to be easily folded back to display the current road-section map.

Completely updated every odd numbered year, Along I-75contains no advertising or commercial content.

Each current edition of the book has a "reader's only" website where major updates to the book's information are posted. Also includes updated and downloadable replacement maps and pages for the book.

The book features:


78 colored 25 mile road strip maps (39 for each direction of travel)
106 colored maps (side-trips and towns) and 196 colored photos
67 b&w maps and photos
105 charts and diagrams
72 restaurant and money-saving tips
24 Special Interest reports

We bought this book for our trip to Florida last year. I was the navigator and I love, love, loved the detailed maps and information provided in this book. It was chock full of history and fun facts for almost every major landmark and restaurant along the way. The detailed civil war story about the runaway train was a bit hit with my youngest and because of the book we were able to pinpoint exactly where the train crossed the road over and over again. It basically helped to make a long, long, long car trip much more interesting! We even found a few places closer to home that we would like to go back and visit sometime. We bought a copy for my in-laws who go every year and they couldn't wait to use it as well. It's a must for any car trip along the I-75.

Not worth the $. good points along the way, but hard to read sometimes. Maybe recommended for some one that doesn't have a destination trip. If you want to see things along the way, make that the purpose for your trip.

A niche book, but such a good niche book.
