It's the phenomenon: 1,000 Places to See Before You Die has 2.2 million copies in print and has spent 144 weeks and counting on The New York Times bestseller list.
Now, shipping in time for the tens of millions of travelers heading out for summer trips, comes 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die. Sail the Maine Windjammers out of Camden. Explore the gold-mining trails in Alaska's Denali wilderness. Collect exotic shells on the beaches of Captiva. Take a barbecue tour of Kansas City—from Arthur Bryant's to Gates to B.B.'s Lawnside to Danny Edward's to LC's to Snead's. There's the ice hotel in Quebec, the Great Stalacpipe Organ in Virginia, cowboy poetry readings, what to do in Lexington after the Derby's over, and for every city, dozens of unexpected suggestions and essential destinations.
The book is organized by region, and subject-specific indices in the back sort the book by interest—wilderness, great dining, best beaches, world-class museums, sports and adventures, road trips, and more. There's also an index that breaks out the best destinations for families with children. Following each entry is the nuts and bolts: addresses, websites, phone numbers, costs, best times to visit.

A great guide for planning a unique trip
Nick, A reviewer, 04/24/2008
I use this book all the time. Whether its a weekend excursion to New Orleans or I'm headed off for an adventure far away, I look here first. This recommendations so far have been right on and have revealed to me some very interesting places close to home that I never knew about. If you enjoy travelling and getting off the beaten path, get this book!
The 'go to' book for US and Canada travel.
A reviewer, a person who loves to travel, 08/21/2007
Coming on the heels of her NYT best seller '1,000 Places to See Before You Die,' Schultz'latest book is my new best travel friend for US travel. Not only is it great for vacation planning, but it is really terrific for planning 'day trips.' I have lived in the tri-state (CT, NY, NJ) area for 25 years and I am having a blast discovering new places. Schultz includes all the specifics...location, best times to visit, contact info, etc. Also, I have given this book as graduation gifts, party gifts, thank you gifts...and I am ALWAYS greeted with 'Wow, I have seen this and have been meaning to get it!' I am a B&N member, so the price is perfect. Enjoy!
