As a regular visitor to North America (particularly the USA) and an owner of the first `1000 Places To See Before You Die', I bought this with much anticipation, and it didn't disappoint. Those familiar with the global edition will know what to expect - the book is arranged region by region, state by state. All the main attractions of the USA that you would expect to be included are, such as the Grand Canyon, Empire State Building, Mount Rushmore etc. What makes the book worthwhile are the numerous, lesser known attractions, often away from the beaten tourist track, interspersed with pictures every few pages. This is probably because the focus on one continent, in contrast to the global edition, allows for a wider and more thorough range of places to recommend.
This book shouldn't be considered an outright travel companion, as it has little information on accommodation and general travelling advice. It won't replace Lonely Planet or Rough Guides, but if you have space in your luggage, it will make a useful addition to these. And those not able to make space for it, or who don't visit N. America often - it works just as well as a miniature coffee table book!

This book is perfect for those who love driving, planning their drive and not missing the most important sights. If you are based in the USA or Canada this is a 5* book, if you are based in the UK, like me, then you are going to have to visit North America many times to get full value. So far, I've managed to see 45 of the main attractions listed and have yet to be disappointed. If you find that you enjoy touring in North America, I would also recommend "Road Trip USA" by Jamie Jensen and "The Most Scenic Drives in America" a Reader's Digest publication which both give good ideas for routes and one or two different ideas. Give yourself lots of time for your tours because distances between attractions can be enormous.

This was the 2nd USA guide book I purchased for Kindle. The first one, although available for Kindle was virtually unusable due to lack of index and I was able to cancel that for refund. I already had the printed first edition of this book and found although very useful, packing a guidebook or two in luggage was not very practical. So much easier to read on Kindle, or even better on iPad. I like this particular book as it has lots of quirky and out of the way places rather than just the usual.
