.The Solar Food Dryer: How to Make and Use Your Own Low-Cost, High Performance, Sun-Powered Food Dehydrator

by: Eben V. Fodor

January 01, 2006
Book is short and easy to read. I am an engineer and the designs are good, however I feel that there can be some overall improvements not necessarly to the design only but to the consrtuction. I plan to draft a set of working drawings to check out my ideas and then make a "Throw-away" sample prior to building an actual working dryer. I have all kinds of scrap in the shop to do this with that wouldn't last long out in the sun all day. I can probably get some test food free from a local market because it is past it's selling quality. I am happy with the book and plan to read it again.

.Fodor's Washington, D.C. 2008: with Mount Vernon, Old Town Alexandria & Annapolis (Fodor's Gold Guides)

by: Fodor's

October 02, 2007
We carried this book all over DC. The information was accurate and up-to- date. The recommendations were helpful. The book was well organized, and the information was easy to access. The map is OK, but we also purchased another map to have with us. I would recommend this book over the Unofficial Guide to Washington DC.

.Fodor's Israel, 6th Edition (Fodor's Gold Guides)

by: Fodor's

July 04, 2006
This is a fairly bland tourist guide to Israel. Don't expect it to lead you anywhere that the Israel tourist information map won't. It'll give you telephone numbers for the sheratons, but not much off the beaten track. There are some big gaps, including almost no mention of the elephant in the room: ie the Palestinian territories, and their ongoing occupation. Travel into the West Bank is pretty much dismissed in a sentence. Israel & the Palestinian territories are a unique place, but if you follow this guide you'll probably come back none the wiser.

.Fodor's Arizona and the Grand Canyon 2008 (Fodor's Gold Guides)

by: Fodor's

November 06, 2007
For several years I've been using the Fodor's published books when going on vacation and wouldn't consider another product. When planning my visit to Arizona (having never been there) it was very helpful and detailed. The book is organized very well and now contains comments that have been submitted by other travelers. The book also contains a LOT of information about the Grand Canyon.

.Fodor's Paris 2008 (Fodor's Gold Guides)

by: Fodor's

August 28, 2007
First, I bought Fodor's France 2008 and then bought Fodor's Paris 2008 which gave me more detailed information I needed for my vacation. Stayed in Paris 8ni/9da and it was excellent.

The book was very detailed and gives you information by section. I didn't even buy a map when I got to Paris and just used to the book and it was great.

However, I think this book can be improved and I was going to put this on Fodor's website but I wanted to write it down on my reveiw first.

When you indicate names of subway stations, please write down which line it belongs to. For example, Metro Concorde (line 1) instead of just giving names of subway stations because Paris has many many subway lines. Also, indicate which exits ... Read More:

.Fodor's France 2008 (Fodor's Gold Guides)

by: Fodor's

October 02, 2007
I have the Fodors book on France from 1993 (interestingly enough the same chateau on the cover! different angle though..) and the difference in 15 years is nothing short of amazing! The reviews, itineraries,maps, the explanations, the sidebars on wine-tasting, art, etc... in short, everything - has been embellished, polished, perked up, smoothed, increased dramatically and all to the good. Fodors used to be VERY good at reviews of hotels and dining but VERY short on historical interest and background. Well...not any more. This really is the only volume you will need when you go to France, and is a lot of fun to just go through if you are interested at all in the history, art, society and culture of the country - even if you are not planning a trip to ...
