Good basic guide
31 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I live in the Dallas area and bought this guide to help me plan small weekend trips within Texas. If you are new to Texas or visiting it is a great guide. All the major cities and attractions are covered very well. Unfortunately if you live in Texas it is a tad disappointing. I have visited (or lived in) Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, San Antonio, Houston, Austin many many times and that is the bulk of this book. If you need help visiting a big city it is great. But if your looking for something a bit more "off the beaten path" it is a let down. The West Texas section was the biggest disappoint to me.

A good guide but a step backwards
12 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Moon Handbook are in general the best of all guidebooks to the states, provinces, and regions of North America. The focus is not on luxurious hotels or gourmet restaurants but upon a wider range of good, reliable, accomodations and eateries. The information on local history, sights, and eccentricities is especially good and the "must see" recommendations in newer editions are nearly always reliable. So why would I rate this title only four stars? To discover that the Sixth Edition of the Texas handbook--the book covering the largest state in the Lower 48--has cut 258 pages from the Fifth Edition is a huge disappointment. I would still recommend this or any other Moon Handbook but it is a step backwards.

Loved this pithy little guide!
10 April 2009
Format:Paperback
As a mom with a family who loves to travel, I will use this book over and over. Need a weekend getaway suggestion? Visiting Aunt Pearl in East Texas? Wanting some ideas for a girl's trip? This guide has it all. These Moon Guides are a nice mix of history, enlightened comment, and useful information.
