A great guide for planning a unique trip

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.

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!

Something For Everyone

1000 Places To See In the USA and Canada is a book which is not only a great travellers reference ,it is also truely entertaining and should be on everyones Christmas wish list.There are destinations in everyone's price range.I love the fact that both the well known and obscure places are described and having been to a number of them,the descriptions are accurate.I have found '1000 Places' to be invaluable during my travels,and look forward to using it in the future.

An absolute must!!!

I have traveled much of the world but very little of the United States, so I was so excited to see this new book come out. I was thrilled to find areas so close to home that sound so interesting and require only a day-trip or weekend excursion. There are also destinations, such as the scenic West Coast, that I would love to devote a longer expanse of time. I felt that the books layout was easy to navigate and there was a nice variety of destinations, eateries and activities. Some that are givens and others that are hidden treasures. My favorite part of this book is the list of Festivals around the country...what a great idea and how fun!

USA and where?
C.Graham, a proud Canadian., 06/22/2007

I was extremely disappointed that the book makes simply a token gesture of inclusion for Canada. To talk about 1,000 places to see and then to relegate Canada to a mere 3 mentions per provinces is rather insulting. We have a vast, varied, and beautiful country and trying to pick just 3 things per province as noteworthy would be truly impossible if an author were to truly make an effort to explore our land.
