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!
