Readers selecting the Western Edition should know that Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana are actually included in the Eastern Edition and not included in the West. I suspect this was done to make the size of the two volumes roughly equal, but the tag on the cover is misleading.
Otherwise both east and west are excellent. For those looking to camp off the beaten path while, at the same time, saving a few dollars these guides are great. The numbered map locations are great for the traveler when it comes to answering the question: "Where can we camp close by?"
We've used these books for years and, were it not for the placement of some west-of-the Mississippi- states in the Eastern Edition, I'd give it 5 stars.
