We really liked this thick-as-a-brick book. For less than 15 (delivered), this was less than a half of the price in local stores.
It has been great help when planning our USA visit. Even with Tripadvisor and other service today, having offline book that you can just browse through on the couch is nice.
I didn't find the paper quality bad. Nothing amazing, just basic paper. With this many pages, I didn't assume anything more.
For those wanting to travel to USA - and don't have yet a fixed destination - I definitely recommend this!
