1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die
G. Nicholas MD wrotes: 1,000 concise descriptions with supporting evidence to persuade the reader to journey 1,000 unique &/or beautiful places in the U.S.A. and Canada before concluding that the traveler requires a foreign destination rather than experiencing the wonders and wonderful people of the North American...
Bill A. Belt wrotes: This is my second copy of this book as it seemed like everyone that saw it was to thumb through the pages. Thus the pages begin to get shop worn even though tihis was an almost new book. I purchased another copy for just me this time and left the older copy out for everyone that wanted to read...
wrotes: May be a good book but notfor the Kindle. Neither the table of contents nor the index are linked to the text. It is impossible to find your way around.
VB wrotes: bought as gift, read through it a bit before wrapping and seemed very informative and in-depth, though slightly lengthy read! I was tempted to keep for self, will be good travel companion.
Y. Savak wrotes: Interesting book but I got skeptical about the writer especially after he put some countries under wrong continents or regions.
Woodall's North American Campground Directory with CD, 2010
Turbodog1000 wrotes: A great resource for trip planning, and on the road quick finds. We pick up a new Woodall's every 2-3 years, we bought this one because of the GPS address feature.
Edwin G. Bjore wrotes: Use both Woodalls & Trailer Life. It is good to see what each has to say before deciding on park.
Scott C. Cramer wrotes: Received this "new" copy in a short time, however, it looked like a used copy with the cover and several pages bent. This item looked like it was used, returned and reshipped to us!! Not Woodalls fault, I blame Amazon for this one!!
Frommer's Montreal and Quebec City 2010 (Frommer's Complete)
N. Noor wrotes: Bonjour!
Used it for a weekend in Montreal. Description of sites for the most part were accurate. Some inconsistencies (sloppy editing) around the completion of renovations regarding Insectarium de Montréal. Also,a couple of restaurants listed for Old Montreal were off in terms of...
A. Cleasby wrotes: Having recently used the Eyewitness series of guide books in Italy, this book isn't in the same league. The organization, accuracy, and presentation are all less than perfect (and being unfamiliar in general with Montreal I can't comment on the coverage). It has the de rigeur sights,...
PM Carlos wrotes: This book was extremely helpful for our recent visit to Canada. We ate at several of the recommended restaurants and used the walking tours in Old Montreal and Old Quebec. The maps were very helpful. I suggest marking out on the map sites you want to visit before you leave home. Some of the...
Anna wrotes:
The Frommer's travel book was very informative and helpful.
The maps are excellent.
Lynn H. Weir wrotes: Frommer's guides are generally the best overall guides. They provide insider information and "off the beaten path" options. This one is no exception. Well organized, easy to read, with lots little sidebars with unusual information.
Alaska by Cruise Ship: The Complete Guide to Cruising Alaska with Giant Pull-out Map (6th Edition)
James E. Herron wrotes: this book has a lot of good information for anyone taking a cruise to Alaska.
S. Avallone wrotes: This book is great! The large pull out map is my favorite part. It shows all the distances to the ports and where whales can be sited and lots more. The book gives great information on the port cities and what to expect, places you should try and maps of the areas to help you get around. It is...
Marathon Cruiser wrotes: We found Alaska By Cruise Ship to be a great help on our cruise this summer. We bought two other guides and this one was by far the most helpful with good and useful information on attractions and shore excursions in each port. Hiking suggestions especially were great - trails to Mendenhall...
E. Budvis wrotes: This book does not provide any more information than could be found in brouchures at the ship's guest relations desk. It doesn't offer any interesting alternatives to shore excursions and fails to mentions the drawbacks of places listed. Here are two examples. First, Vipond says it is a must to...
T. Cadieux wrotes: I was hoping for more ideas on things to do in port that were not already listed in ship excursions. Had good general info. Interesting facts about Alaskan culture.
Michelin 2010 North America Road Atlas (Michelin North America Road Atlas) (Michelin Road Atlas)
K. Koenig wrotes: The quality of this is atlas is good enouph so 2 stars. The problem for most is the useless tiled format. For example the state of California is on pg. 28-29, then again on pg. 36-37, then again on pg. 44-45, then again on pg. 52-53. City map of Los angeles on pg. 228, Santa Barbara on pg. 260...
S. Sherman wrotes: I really like this Atlas. I won't mention the brand of my prior Atlas, but I will mention that I like this Atlas much better. I like the size and the map detail better. I would recommend the Atlas to anybody looking for a high quality Atlas.
Family Adventure wrotes: Great detail and easy enough to use once you go through it a time or two. Note that it is organized by regions, not necessarily by state, so you may need to do some page turning. Also, it is smaller than the typical road atlas--may not be a problem for most but has led to disagreements about...
Carl F. Mclaren Jr. wrotes: I ordered the Rand McNally 2010 Road Atlas Large Scale but amazon couldn't ship for 1-3 weeks so I went to a book store and looked at about 10 different road atlases, this Michelin one was the best I found. As the other reviewer said the inside front cover has a map with numbers in the various...
Carol E. Mcrae wrotes: I was hesitant about the layout of this atlas since it is not organized in states, but in areas. BUT I love it after it's first trip with us. The inside front cover gives a starting place and then each map directs you to the page you need next. The flap of the front cover is the BEST for...
Top 10 Vancouver & Victoria (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE)
msredhd wrotes: Good compact guide book. Has nice maps. The organization of the topics are a little odd. I wish there was more than a few pages on Victoria. Great if Vancouver is your main destination. Some of the "see page xx" references are not correct, the editor messed up on the cross referencing of topics....
Jessica Hirschhorn wrotes: We just returned last night from Vancouver, where this handy little guide was in my pocket at all times. We had just a week in this delicious city, so the "best of the best" was a great concept. Map in the back was incomplete for the city that we explored, but in terms of the things not to...
D. S. Thurlow wrotes: "Top Ten Vancouver" is in the familiar and very useful DK format, with lots of useful information in a compact format for the tourist. In just over 120 pages, "Top Ten" covers the most popular tourist attractions in Vancouver, such as Stanley Park, Canada Place, the Capilano Suspension Bridge,...
Dukes909 wrotes: Great book for the highlights of Vancouver, but don't buy it thinking it will have much about Victoria or Vancouver Island. Get the Frommer's book on Vancouver Island for that. Happy whale watching!
Laurence Lechat wrotes: This Top Ten collection is really good for summarizing everything you need to know about a place, and if you do not stay too long it is not worth buying the bigger more detailed more expensive guide!!!
Definetely worth the money...Took more than a week to arrive though.
The Wilderness World of John Muir
S. Gemmill wrotes: A wonderful sampling of Muir's writings and his timeless perspective on the wonders of our natural world.
Kenneth Kornfield wrotes: excerpted from Muir's The Mountains of California, is one chapter I've read many times. He climbs to the top of a Doug Fir so that he can experience a 100' tree swaying 30° back and forth "rocking and swirling in wild ecstasy" I take this book backpacking (there's no ultralight version yet...)...
K. Lowe wrotes: I really enjoyed this book as it was focused on plants and animals. My favorite chapters were "The Water Ouzel" (a bird) and "Stickeen" (a dog). However, the whole book was interesting and enjoyable, including chapters about different people he met along the way ("The Robber" and "The...
Harold W. Wood Jr. wrotes: I am often asked for a recommendation of what among Muir's writings, or writings about him, one should first read. After spending more than 30 years appreciating both his writings and most of the books about Muir that have been published during that time, and after ten years editing the John Muir...
wrotes: Whether you are interested in John Muir specifically or just want to read about an interesting life, this book is an excellent place to start.
John Muir had an incredible and important life, and it is told here succinctly in his own words, excerpted to emphasize the profound. It is a glimpse...
How to Move to Canada: A Primer for Americans
R. Hoelzer wrotes: Definitely a good primer on how to move to Canada. If you want more in depth information on Canada, consider "Politics in Canada: Culture, Institutions, Behaviour and Public Policy". It's a bit dated, but very comprehensive.
Dr. Phil Leavitt wrotes: This may be a good review of moving and living in Canada for folks who intend to work there. Unfortunately,
as someone who is looking for information on 'How to move to Canada, I found this book to be very disappointing. The book is 217 pages long, but only 47 of those pages deal with 'How...
Michael P. Jorgensen wrotes: As someone who is looking for information on 'How to move to Canada', I found this book to be very disappointing. The book is 217 pages long, but only 47 of those pages deal with 'How to move to Canada'. The other 170 pages deal with 'What is Canada'. If you're interested enough in moving to...
Vineet Kapur wrotes: Great book that provides comprehensive information on Canadian Immigration process. Also covers the different immigration rules in different provinces of Canada. The book also sites good online references. A useful resource for Americans who wish to immigrate to Canada.
ewomack wrotes: Myths about Canada abound: it's a "fake country," it has a population of 20, people are allowed to marry moose, it's one big year-round hockey tournament, it doesn't really exist, everyone speaks a vulgar form of French, and they have free healthcare but you'll perish waiting in line for service....
