.Frommer's Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks (Park Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Eric Peterson

March 04, 2008
This book was very helpful in deciding what to see on a recent trip to Yellowstone. I really liked that it had what to do if you only have one or two days in the park and then went much more in depth if you have more time.

.Frommer's New York City with Kids (Frommer's With Kids)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Holly Hughes

January 30, 2007
I took my family to NYC and we had a great time. Our great time was not because of this book, but in spite of it. We had multiple occasions when a recommended restaurant was not very kid friendly, or a place to get dessert was just not that good. The guide did help with mapping out the main tourist sites we wanted to go to. Would look for another family guide to NYC if I was returning. There must be a better one.

Needed a good basic book on Philly. This one is very organized and thorough and easy to read.

.Streetwise Tokyo Map - Laminated Center City Street Map of Tokyo, Japan - Folding pocket size travel map with subway map - JR lines (Streetwise (Streetwise Maps))
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Micheal E. Brown

This is a good detailed map to Tokyo - for once I didn't get completely lost. I wish I had had it on my first three visits when (among many other mis-steps),I spent hours confused on the subway where it is difficult to read station maps becasue of the serious crowds. Trust me you need your own so you can read it at your convenience. Too the architectural drawings of major buildings in different districts are a good visual aid when walking around. Tokyo is a difficult city alright and without a detailed map you are doomed.

Unless you want to carry around an encyclopedic street guide weighing five pounds this Street Wise is the one for you. For the casual or business traveler this compact laminated map is the best I've found....and ... Read More:

.Fodor's Walt Disney World® with Kids 2008: with Universal Orlando and SeaWorld (Special-Interest Titles)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Kim Wright Wiley

August 07, 2007
We recently returned form WDW and had a great time! The tips in the book were valuable. It helped our family enjoy most of the rides and attractions with minimal wait. 15 minutes was the max wait time - even in peak season, mid-August on a Monday afternoon. The tips on how to use the Fastpass system helped us to walk on to most rides. Other attractions were a brief wait. Tips for parade watching gave us choice seats and views. The book needs to be updated for 2008 - some attractions don't have fastpass anymore. Other than that, great buy! A must read before heading to WDW with the family. The book also provides tips for Universal and SeaWorld which is a bonus.

.Touring the Western North Carolina Backroads (Touring the Backroads)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Carolyn Sakowski

1995-12
I was introduced to this book by a friend and ended up buying the whole series! If you want to know more about western NC and spend your days enjoying a well written dialog that accurately directs you to place the other guides don't even mention, Buy this book. If you want a restaurant guide look elsewhere. I can wholeheartedly recommend the entire series from this publisher. Similar to the "off the beaten path" series only better, written by life long residents that obviously love their home state!

.Frommer's Portable Napa & Sonoma (Frommer's Portable)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Erika Lenkert

April 21, 2008
This, like the other Frommer's Guides I have seen, seems to be timid, generic and void of fun, gritty, insider information. It gave some useful information to read on the plane about various wineries, but I left it in my hotel the days I headed out to Sonoma, and this I did on purpose. Do your research and buy a better guide.

.Frommer's National Parks with Kids (Park Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Kurt Repanshek

April 28, 2008
I found the information in this book much more useful than any other travel guide I have purchased. The lodging information for Yellowstone, for example, describes the state of specific room types at each location!

This book's one failing is its skimpy selection of parks.

.Watch It Made in the U.S.A.: A Visitor's Guide to the Best Factory Tours and Company Museums (Watch It Made in the USA)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Karen Axelrod, Bruce Brumberg

I'm planning to take my two teenagers cross country this summer and this is a GREAT book for finding interesting places to show them. It has excellent maps, clear directions, and well-written descriptions of what you will (and won't) see so I can figure out what sites will best entertain the different family members. I only wish we had time to see more of the places they describe. It even tells you what other nearby attractions there are. Kudos to the authors!
