.Hillinger's California: Stories from All 58 Counties City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette by: Charles Hillinger 2003-08 A state is much more than what you see as you travel through it. I took this book with our family as we drove the length of California. It was great to read human interest stories of each county as we drove through them, and to take detours to see unusual places that we would not otherwise have known about. >>See More Reviews & Details on Hillinger's California: Stories from All 58 Counties |

.Holidays in Hell City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette by: P.J. O'Rourke October 04, 1994 This is a dazzlingly brilliant collection of articles written about some of the world's worst trouble spots. Nobody else writes like O'Rourke, managing to vividly conjure up the awfulness of the places he visits, yet at the same time managing to make you laugh as well. The tone of the articles ranges from the horrific 'Christmas in El Salvador', to the purely comic 'Weekend Getaway: Heritage USA' which describes a bizarre visit to a Biblical theme park. He describes how his girlfriend attempts to go shopping in the park and returns with "a dazed, perplexed expression, like a starved Ethiopian given a piece of wax fruit". I know the feeling, Disneyland Paris had exactly the same effect on me. In 'Mexican Border Idyll' he asks the ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Holidays in Hell |

.Hong Kong City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette by: Jan Morris 1996-01 At least one of the reviewers on this list was unkind about the book, but I think it only fails, in the manner that all single-volume histories do, by trying to cover so much in so little. I have only read the unrevised 1990 Penguin paperback and only after I had already worked in Hong Kong in the early 90's. I wish I had read it before I went there, because it would have helped me to make sense of the total assault on the senses that HK is. If you want, or need, to have more context than a guidebook will provide, this is where you will get it. >>See More Reviews & Details on Hong Kong |
