Product Description

Review

"The single most valuable resource we had on our trip. . . we referred to it constantly."

Product Description

The Rough Guide to the USA is the most comprehensive and colourful guide to the fifty states available. There are lively accounts of every region and attraction from the bright lights of Broadway to the vast open plains of Wyoming. The guide gives refreshingly opinionated reviews of the established sights and landmarks as well as uncovering many of the lesser-known gems, allowing the visitor to make the most of their trip. There are feature boxes that provide information on a variety of subjects from the Delta blues to the geology of the Grand Canyon. There are also maps and plans to help you navigate around the major attractions, inner city streets or interstates

5.0 out of 5 stars A magnificent achievement!, 21 Jan 2002

Stuart Saunders (sms67@blueyonder.co.uk) (Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Rough Guide to the USA (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

A one-volume guide to all 50 states is a huge undertaking, but this book achieves it. It is expertly detailed, humourously written and an absolute pleasure to use. If it has any weakness at all, it is perhaps the dull, small-scale maps, for example of Texas, and the lack of detail on rail travel across the country. But make no mistake, this one is the very best available. Rivals will be hard-pushed to match it. A great guide!

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable, though a bit chunky!, 18 Sep 2008

Ash (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Rough Guide to the USA (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

I bought this from Amazon several years ago, and it was completely invaluable for my lengthy trip around the States. From Miami to Seattle and around again, this guide book provides the exact information you need - good places to stay, eat, explore, get drunk, with helpful maps accompanying it all. My copy is battered and torn now, but I wouldn't be without it. I even recently opened it to read a concise history of the mid-West, which it provided brilliantly. If you have an interest in the States or are planning a Greyhound oddyssey of your own, buy this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Rough Guide to the USA
Unfortunately the book was damaged when it arrived which was a pity as I had bought it as a present. Don't know whether it was damaged before it was sent or during transit though.
