Editorial Review: From Amazon.com: The Travel Smart series from John Muir Publications features a "different kind of guidebook" that includes the author's choices of only the best restaurants, hotels, and sites. In American Southwest Travel Smart, author Daniel Gibson--born and raised in New Mexico--provides the insider information that can make the difference between a good trip and a great one. Itineraries geared to your special interests are another standout feature of these guides. This book includes handcrafted tours for the "Best of the American Southwest," "Nature Lovers," "Art Lovers," "Family Fun," "Indian, Hispanic and Mormon History and Culture," and "Outdoor Recreation." In addition to user-friendly maps listing recommended sites, restaurants, and accommodations, each chapter includes the useful "A Perfect Day" listing--a rundown of how the author would spend his time if he had just one day in that destination. This personalized section includes ideas such as where to find super shopping, sublime skiing, delicious dining, as well as where to have a perfect picnic lunch. Chapters also feature sightseeing highlights rated by degree of importance, selected restaurants, lodging and camping recommendations, and helpful hints. "Practical Tips" offer help in estimating trip costs, the best times to visit, transportation, a lodging and dining overview, recommended reading, and additional resources. --Kathryn True Customer Reviews
