Product Description

Review
"An immensely sophisticated masterwork. For those who feel an adrenaline rush every time they hear the words "road trip", and who understand that getting there is at least half the fun, this is quite simply the best book of its type ever published".

-- Conde Nast Epicurious

Product Description
A second edition of the guide to touring the USA on the smaller roads. Interesting and diverse stop-off points are covered along with out-of-the-way lodgings and traditional diners, call letters of local radio stations, and toll-free numbers for road conditions.

First Sentence
For some reason, when people elsewhere in the country refer to the West Coast, particularly California, they seem to think it's a land of kooks and crazies, an overbuilt suburban desert supporting only shopping malls, freeways, and body-obsessed airheads. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book to start the planning of your own road trip, 28 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This book really does help you get the full flavour of what a road trip across Northern America can really be about. This book covers places of interest and a lot of detailed local information in a compact and informative format.

There has been a lot of research put into this book, and you get the sense that the author has actually gone through a similar experience, which is always a help!

I recommend this to anyone thinking or who has an interest in doing a road trip across the US. Its a great resource, and small enough to take with you!

4.0 out of 5 stars The easy drivers guide to small town America, 5 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Jenson's view is that the Interstate is not for real travellers. The book covers a series of coast to coast and border to border trips through small town America in a detail which can be annoying and yet is thoroughly enjoyable. His style is easy, compulsive and, based on our previous experience of some of the places he describes, very honest.

Full of throw away descriptions of "blink or you'll miss them" towns, facts and figures, the best places to eat, drink and sleep, and survival guides to the major metropolis en route the book is much more than the stereotypical guide. It offers an insight into an America which is not obtained from the more formal Fodor and Rough Guide style of guidebook. It is that lack of formality which makes the book such a delight.

Its unlikely that anybody will be able to complete any of the routes and visit all the suggested sites in the standard two week annual holiday, but, by judicial selection and patching bit together, its possible to see some of the country described. It is difficult to find good travel guides to the lesser known areas of America; Road Trip USA was an unexpected pleasure!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Travellers Return, 13 Aug 2002
By Alison Winsborough (Portland, Dorset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Road Trip USA: Cross-country Adventures on America's Two-lane Highways (Moon Handbooks Road Trip USA: Cross-Country Adventures on America's Two-Lane Highways) (Paperback)
I had long yearned to undertake a USA road trip, but where do you start? And how do you ensure you experience the curiosities that you can find if you venture that little bit from the beaten track?

Armed with Jamie in hand we used the "Road Trip USA" as our guide and motored along the US-80 trip. We veered off and saw New Oleans but STILL read through the info from another road trip to give us an idea of what was worth diverting from the straight and narrow to see.

A really invaluable resource which gives you more than the average guide book to entertain you along the way.

Enjoy the read. Enjoy the preparations that you will have to make, and then savour the journey.

2.0 out of 5 stars This makes a road trip across the USA sound tedious..
..which seems a difficult thing to do. What is good about it, is that it describes each town/city and provides a couple of ideas for places to stay/eat which is useful. Read more
