The Unofficial Guide Walt Disney World 2011 (Unofficial Guides)
L. Rollins wrotes: I have purchased the Unofficial Guide to WDW for five years. Each edition is updated with the newest information, and has so many tips for saving time and money that it is well worth reading more than once. The touring plans included in the back of the book save so much time that we usually see...

jbsand wrotes: This is the best guide book to Walt Disney World, Orlando, FL that I have found.
This is the second edition I purchased.
Has the most information in one book I can find.
Tells the good and the bad.
Can be complex. They give you schedules and plans to see the most, which...



Oahu Revealed: The Ultimate Guide to Honolulu, Waikiki & Beyond (Oahu Revisited)
Robert Strange wrotes: Great book and it was a really valuable help in planning our upcoming Hawaiian Vacation.

C. Brady wrotes: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book about Oahu and found it very helpful in selecting sites and events to visit even though I used an older edition for my July 2010 trip. Hopefully the newer editions are better about including addresses for GPS devices. I didn't agree with every...

S. England wrotes: This book is absolutely packed with information specific to Oahu. USEFUL information, honest opinions on activities, restaurants, companies, just about anything you could think of doing or seeing. It's been instrumental in helping us to plan out our vacation.... I definitely recommend this book...

Alison Fujii wrotes: This book is such a pleasure to read. I read it cover-to-cover before I went to Oahu (only skipping some of the hotel and food reviews) and it was so fun to read and learn fun facts and history! My copy is full of notes in the margins, highlights and sticky notes. Great for planning- I had an...

Jerry Geiger wrotes: I took several travel guides to Oahu but this is the one we kept coming back to. We went to Oahu with another family and they kept borrowing the book because they liked it better than the guidebooks they brought. I agreed with most of the evaluations and the maps included with the book were very...



In a Sunburned Country
C. J. Thompson wrotes: Bryson loves England - that is obvious in Notes from a Small Island. In Australia, however, he is an outsider on a visit (not a resident) and the difference is obvious in the style and character of this book.

In 'Notes from a Small Island', Bryson skips easily from topic to topic,...

Yolanda S. Bean wrotes: This travelogue was filled with not only anecdotes from the author's trips around the continent/country, but also glimpses into its little known history and a plethora of other interesting facts. I learned a lot - and I have been to Australia before! Bryson's writing felt honest and completely...

T. Kepler wrotes: Outstanding read! Travels in Australia, urban, rural & outback. One theme throughout is how there is much to know about, and much happens, Down Under, yet the rest of the world never finds out. Not to mention the length of flight to get there! Yet the cities are clean and inviting while the...

David Jedeikin wrotes: Bill Bryson delivers his usual medley of breezy storytelling and fascinating factoids, this time about a land many of us think we know (even those who've visited more than once). But as he reveals, this sprawling, continent-sized nation offers up enough secrets and surprises to scintillate the...

T wrotes: I almost forgot how much fun it is to read books about foreign countries and cultures. As soon as opened In a Sunburned Country, memories of reading travelogues about U.S. rushed back to me. Oh, how amazed I was those years ago to learn that apparently many Americans put their T-shirts on to swim...



the Next EXIT (2010 edition) (Next Exit: The Most Complete Interstate Highway Guide Ever Printed)
Charles Casterline wrotes: Amazing amount of information and a good reference to have in the car while tooling down the interstate.

Miss Scarlett wrotes: I deliver RV's with my 1 TON diesel powered truck. This guide is great! It has the RV accessable services in red. So, all I have to do is look for the red print to know where I need to stop and what is at the "Next Exit". Will not travel again without it, wheather in my truck, my mini-van or...

Sandy wrotes: Love this book...But semi truck parking needs to be updated. Alot of them are missing

Kathleen Ann Kovacs wrotes: when your older and knowing what your options are for stopping somewhere safe to strech your legs and or use the restroom

Angi Coggins wrotes: A must have road trip "bible" that saves time and keeps you in the know of unfamiliar territory.



Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War
James A. Quirk wrotes: This book should be required reading for every American 9th grader. Horwtiz's ability to talk to just about anyone and get their story is journalism at its best, and his journey throughout the Deep South is a bittersweet mix of hilarious anecdotes and somber, heartbreaking commentary on the state...

Avid Reader wrotes: It took a while for this book to grab my attention. At first, it felt like too much of a lark by a prominent journalist who was taking a breather from really challenging work as a war correspondent. But as Tony Horwitz kept digging into our nation's Civil War past and present, I felt that he...

Rachel Spory wrotes: This is a book I have read several times, starting when it first came out, due to the photo of Robert Lee Hodge on the cover. I grew up in a part of a border state that supported the Confederacy, but my family was Yankee. This is now one of my favorite non-fiction books ever. The book is the...

Raymond D. Trudeau wrotes: Interesting - verifies some personal experiences of todays attitudes - one comment by a profesional lawyer "I will never forgive you for burning Atlanta" hell I wasnt there and neither was he - but I did enjoy the research and detail

kyrich86 wrotes: Confederates in the Attic is a non-fiction book that investigates America's lingering connections and ties to the Civil War today. This book is a story of the author's personal trips around the southern United States investigating and reporting his findings. But this book also has personal...





National Geographic Guide to the National Parks of the United States, 6th Edition
Stanley Bartle wrotes: So far it looks like it is just what I need for our trip to the Rockies in the near future.

L. Lapio wrotes: While on vacation this summer at Glacier National Park, I came across this book in the bookstore. I started thumbing through the pages and saw all the information contained about each park. We had already spent the morning just stopping at the usual tourist turnoffs in the park, but after...

value hunter wrotes: For years I relied on the Rand McNally National Park Guides by Dr. Michael Frome, PhD. This was a guy that actually went to the Parks and gave firsthand guidance on what to see, when to see it, how to approach the parks and where to stay. When he retired and stopped developing National Park...

Sheila B. Edney wrotes: We love to visit the National Parks, and this book will be a great help in planning to get the most out of our visits. It is a beautiful book, too. The Parks are grouped by location with helpful information such as when to visit and fees. The book also contains maps and suggestions for lodging...

Kenneth H. Cohn wrotes: Perfect companion book for that RV trip across the country. Gives wonderful insight into our national parks.



More Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: A Drop-Top Culinary Cruise Through America's Finest and Funkiest Joints
A. Allen wrotes: The book is good but it doesn't have all the recipes that are shown on the TV show. We were really hoping it would have al those great things. Do not get me wrong there are some killer recipes but not all I would like. We still love Guy and Bananas.

S. Matte wrotes: I love all the recipes and I can't wait to use the book when we are vacationing.

D. Lee wrotes: Bought this as a gift for our son-in-law, a total fan of Triple D. He totally loved it, and it's always good to keep your son-in-law happy!

Grannie King wrotes: This was an interesting book to read. Just wish some of the places had been located more in the South. If you travel all over the country it gives many interesting places to visit.

Lisa G. wrotes: I really liked this book. Great stories for every place. But, my biggest problem was trying to find these on a map. I just did a drive from Jackson Hole, Wyoming to Connecticut and wanted to stop at some of the locations, but trying to find them on a map, and seeing if they were on the way...



The Unofficial Guide Walt Disney World 2010 (Unofficial Guides)
MRF wrotes: This s a great resource for anyone planning a trip to WDW! The reader ratings were very valuable and informative. This is more than just information about the parks, rides and resorts. It provides tips backed up by resarch and alot of data that if, followed, can only improve even a veteran...

Candy wrotes: I love this book and it has saved hours for my family and me! If you wish to save time and get through the lines quickly at Disney World, this is the book for you. Since my husband and I are teachers, we visit during the busiest times of the year and we have never stood in line longer than 40...

ST from WPG wrotes: We used this book thoroughly on our trip to WDW, and can't imagine not having it by our side. It gave great information, and objective opinions - as opposed to the Birnbaum "Official" guidebook, which is written by Disney and has nothing negative to say about anything. By contrast, the...

Bill wrotes: I have just as much fun planning the vacations as I do going on them, so this book is perfect. A Disney vacation is not relaxing, but a thrilling yet exhausting journey. This guide allows you to save both time and money, both invaluable commodities at Disney World, regardless of the timing of...

Susan wrotes: With it being our very first trip to Disneyworld and definitely not knowing what to expect, this was a great book. It prepared us for a lot of things that you don't even have time to think about once you are there. It was nice to take it with us too. We could look up ratings on rides so we could...



Woodall's North American Campground Directory with CD, 2010
dralexy wrotes: only drawback is the time to learn everything: this is an encyclopedia! Will take a while to learn and to leverage this 'yellow pages thick' tome. CD is nice but will take a few years to make more 'window-fied'.

P. Montgomery wrotes: This RV reference is absolutely essential to the RV traveler. It provides information that is invaluable for locating the right spot and it is all in one source. Amazon delivered it in record time.

rTURNER wrotes: REALLY ENJOYED USING THE CD THAT CAME WITH THE BOOK. THE BOOK IS VERY THICK, BUT VERY INFORMATIVE. WE TOOK OUR LAPTOP ON VACATION WITH US AND IT WAS MUCH QUICKER TO POP THE CD IN AND SEARCH FOR A CAMPGROUND THAN IT WAS TO FLIP THROUGH THE BOOK. VERY IMFORMATIVE.

T. Wise wrotes: Amazon sent us a previously purchased copy. The CD envelope had been ripped open, but it was still there. Very disappointing that the book was not in "new" condition. I had expected this rather large book to have all campgrounds in it. It does not. The states are not aligned correctly, with...

B. Tadlock wrotes: The book came in very good condition and packed well. It is helpful in finding suitable campgrounds while traveling.
