.Birnbaum's Disneyland Resort 2008 (Birnbaum's Disneyland Resort)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Birnbaum Travel Guides

September 18, 2007
If you have never been to Disneyland before, then I strongly recommend reading this guidebook before you go. Familiarize yourself with the layout of the park, learn how fast passes work, figure out how to use the train and monorail, and plan which attractions to see. Especially helpful is the calendar which lists high, medium, and low-traffic dates. Shoot for less crowded days if you can!

I would recommend this book/audio to anyone.

Thumbs up!

.Southern California: An Island on the Land
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Carey McWilliams

March 15, 1980
Carey McWilliams has been called "the single finest nonfiction writer on California--ever." This book, along with *California: The Great Exception* (1949), helped establish that reputation. Drawing on McWilliams's deep insight and remarkable versatility--he moved easily between the worlds of politics, law, literature, and journalism--this book, even after six decades, still captures the spirit and energy of a region that seems to remake itself continuously. *Southern California* has influenced not only journalists and academics, but also artists. One of its chapters, for example, inspired Robert Towne's Oscar-winning original screenplay for *Chinatown* (1974).

Unlike most historians, McWilliams also made history by serving in state ... Read More:

.Ideo Eyes Open: New York (Eyes Open)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Fred Dust, IDEO

March 05, 2008
This book from Ideo authors shows a creative approach to exploring New York City. Some of the recommended visits are unusual and out-of-the-ordinary, but are ways of seeing the unusual. I look forward to similar reviews of other U.S. cities.

.Frommer's Portable Savannah (Frommer's Portable)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince

April 30, 2007
I found this book very useful and helpful with my planning of a trip to Savannah in the near future. I enjoyed getting some "heads up" on various locales (and restrictions) having to do with the John Berendt novel "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"...which is of particular interest to me. Also appreciated the price guides for restaurants, and the hotel reviews, which included if the rooms were smoking, restricted smoking, or non-smoking. Will be packing this little book with me when I do go on my "dream trip" to the coast of Georgia!

.Frommer's Cape Cod, Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard 2008 (Frommer's Complete)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Laura M. Reckford

January 29, 2008
I have used this book annually as a resource when I am visiting Cape Cod. I have purchased other books similar, but always return to the latest Frommer's version. This is indeed, user friendly, accurate and provides the 'off the beaten path' type of things to do that one might easily miss. I would highly recommend this book over others. It's very user friendly and full of interesting tidbits.

.Montreal & Quebec City (City Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Eilís Quinn

March 01, 2007
I find Lonely Planet guidebooks the most practically useful of all travel guidebooks. I find the Montreal/Quebec City to be definitely no exception. Just the maps in the book make it extremely worthwhile...no other maps are needed. Interviews with Montreal/Quebec City residents provide informative and real insider information about the cities, as do sections on history, culture and the arts. Information is adequately up-to-date. I highly recommend this book for anyone making a trip to one or both of the cities.

.California (Regional Guide)

by: Andrea Schulte-Peevers, Sara Benson, Ryan Ver Berkmoes

April 01, 2006
Really great book, the only problem, the pictures are all in black & white, its an overview of the Californian State, but if you want a more detailed focus on each city you may need additional guides.

.Seattle (City Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > North America
by: Becky Ohlsen

February 01, 2008
My wife and I have traveled the world to all but four countries using Lonely Planet and as always Lonely Planet is the only book to travel with. A bit of information on Seattle travel expenses. For a USA city, Seattle is very expensive to visit (about 38% more than the average USA city). We have friends of 40 years who relocated to Seattle and they too say it is expensive. Eating for two in a standard lunch restaurant is going to cost $60 (with gratuity).
I spent two months researching Seattle rooms (talking with hotel concierges and club member services). All room rates are hiked 40% for the summer months (May-mid Sept). All the rooms are small in square footage - similiar to NYC. The lodging with the largest rooms is Springhill Suites by Marriott on Yale Avenue. ... Read More:
