.Route 66: Traveller's Guide and Roadside Companion
City Travel Guides > Books > United States
by: Tom Snyder

March 31, 2000
I am currently on my third copy of this book. I've taken the cross country trip 8 times with Snyder as my guide, and have travelled every documented mile. While it doesn't show you every imaginable mile of every route, this guide takes you on all driveable portions, and to all the places of 66 myth and legend. My only complaint is that the binding is a little cheap, so after a trip there's usually some loose pages about! A definite must-have for anyone contemplating this cross country trip.

.Beyond Disney: The Unofficial Guide to Universal SeaWorld and the Best of Central Florida (Unofficial Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > United States
by: Bob Sehlinger

April 24, 2007
Thought I'd leave a short message on Beyond Disney.
I bought the book in readiness for a week long trip, after purchasing a Flex Ticket Plus, and with plans to visit the major theme parks (Non Mouse related).
Simply the book made the holiday easier and far better. The reviews of the attractions were generally spot on, although the Mummy ride at Universal Studios must surely be the best ride imaginable. Only slight problem is the changes that have taken place at the parks since the book was published, e.g. The Simpsons replacing Back To The Future, but that is a minor quibble and it's not as though I wouldn't have ridden The Simpsons.
The idea of giving an outline for the best way to tour each park during the day is worth the ... Read More:

.Boston (Eyewitness Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > United States
by: Patricia Harris, David Lyon, Tom Bross

April 05, 2007
The layout of the Eyewitness Travel Guides is outstanding; they separate cities by areas and color code each area, with tabs on the side of the book to make the area easy to find. There is a map of all the central color coded areas on the inside of the front cover, and inside the back cover, a more complete map of the region.
Each chapter is a "color", covering Back Bay and South End, Beacon Hill and West End, North End and the Waterfront, Old Boston and Financial District, and Chinatown and the Theater District.
There is a final "Farther Afield" chapter that covers Cambridge, the JFK Library and Museum, as well as his birthplace, which is a fascinating, small house in Brookline, the Museum of Fine Arts, the U.S.S. Constitution in Charlestown, ... Read More:

."Time Out" Las Vegas (Time Out Las Vegas)
City Travel Guides > Books > United States
by: Time Out Guides Ltd

July 05, 2007
This book really does contain everything you need to know about Las Vegas. It gives an honest, critical appraisal of pretty much every aspect of the city, and while it plays to Vegas' strengths, you'll also see that it's not all roses. This is particularly evident in the architecture section and when talking about transport and certain areas between Downtown and the Strip. A must have book for anyone visiting Vegas, or who just wants a good look at what its like warts and all.

.Las Vegas (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > United States
from: Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd

March 01, 2007
If you like small pictures of your favourite scenes of Vegas, the book may just about satisfy your interest. To that end it will probably be ideal for people who have just returned from the holiday of a lifetime in the city of Sin. Although in fairness, a few carefully chosen postcards at 10 cents a throw will do a better job.
But don't rely on this book for depth, commentary or assistance. The reason is simple. How can you have a top 10 list of casinos, restaurants, sights, etc , when there are so many. Pick a book that lists them all and gives more extensive research.
