.National Geographic Driving Guide to America, California City Travel Guides > Books > National Geographic Driving Guides by: National Geographic Society March 01, 1998 I bought this book after enjoying the excellent Guide to Texas and the Middle South from the same series. Unfortunately, the guides are all by different authors, and vary widely in the quality of their content. I've bought four of them so far, and this one is the worst of the bunch. The Texas book is a "Blue Highways" (i.e., off the beaten track) guide, and contains descriptions of fascinating places that you're not likely to find anywhere else. This one, on the other hand, is no better than those free tourist guides that you find on racks in pancake houses and cheap hotels. Mr. Dunn is both unimaginative and lazy, and this book suffers from it. The National Geographic generally does much better. They should own up to their ...

.National Geographic Driving Guide to America, Canada City Travel Guides > Books > National Geographic Driving Guides by: National Geographic Society March 01, 1998 National Geographic Traveler's Canada gives a great broad look at Canada's cities and their highlights. As with any National Geographic series book, its full with rich pictures of the various sights. Included are good driving destinations for scenic tours. However, this book is definitely not the be-all and end-all of Canadian Travel. It does not give a detailed look at any of the cities, and should be really only used as a starter for more research into what you plan on doing and where. But then again, how can anyone expect a concise travel guide on such a large country in only 400 pages? >>See More Reviews & Details on National Geographic Driving Guide to America, Canada |

.National Geographic Driving Guide to America, New York City Travel Guides > Books > National Geographic Driving Guides by: National Geographic Society March 01, 1998 Having spent much of my life in the Pennsylvania/New York region, I was delighted to find that this book contained most of the sights that I have come to love, as well as a large number that I was not familiar with. It is a "Blue Highways" (i.e., off the Interstate) type of guide, and is fun to read. Highly recommended for anyone planning a vacation in this region. The National Geographic Driving Guides are by different authors and due to weak editing and selection, vary widely in quality. This one and the one for Texas and the Middle South are excellent. The California guide by Jerry Camarillo Dunn is awful. The Florida one falls somewhere in the middle. I have not read the others yet. >>See More Reviews & Details on National Geographic Driving Guide to America, New York |

.National Geographic Driving Guide to America, Pacific Northwest City Travel Guides > Books > National Geographic Driving Guides by: National Geographic Society March 01, 1998 The National Geographic Driving Guides are guides to Blue Highways, i.e., non-freeways. They are perfect for people who want to get back to the "real" America. Since they are written by different authors, they vary in quality. Of the ones that I have read, this one is the best. The author, Bob Devine, loves the Northwest, and has done an excellent job of ferreting out a lot of great sights to see and things to do. He also writes clearly. I was particularly interested in the sections on Alaska, because I was trying to figure out whether it would be interesting to me (I am not an outdoorsman), and if I do visit it, how to structure the trip. After reading this book, I decided that there were a lot of interesting things ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on National Geographic Driving Guide to America, Pacific Northwest |
