Book Reviews of 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die
Book Review: good compilation of travel guides
Summary: 4 Stars
First, and foremost, I very much like the book and am glad I purchased it. I've taken a few road trips across the US and I am always looking to find those out of the way and unique locales. Typically I scour several sources to assemble my travel plans: the internet for maps, purchase per state travel guides for reviews, and use AAA books for tidbits about historical and cultural significance to read along the way. This book does a good job of compiling these aspects into one reference. I like how the book is divided into regions and the sections are divided into states. Furthermore, each section has a map with the destinations marked, making it easy to find which suggestions are within close geographic location (important when planning a road trip). I think that most of the suggested places have potential, but was a little disappointed by the types of places the author recommends. As a 27 year old student, I cannot afford many of the luxury type hotels, spas, and restaurants that are listed. I prefer very unique (and typically cheap) stops like the world's only corn palace (this one made the list), which were relatively lacking in the book. All things considered, the book is pretty good and makes a nice read when you get to mark off one of the suggested destinations.
