Book Reviews of 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die
Book Review: Updating my Travel To-Do List Right Now
Summary: 5 Stars
I asked for (and received) this book for my birthday. I am so glad I did!
I have traveled a lot in the US and am working on seeing the rest of the world, but wanted to know what I was missing here in the US. I anxiously flipped through the book and made a note next to each place I had visited.
I was amazed and impressed to find locations just a few miles from my home that I had never seen. I'll be visiting soon.
I am sure I will think of a couple of places that (I think) should have been included. Overall, though, this book is very comprehensive. It is fun and easy to read.
Nice touches inside include web links, phone numbers, etc. for each of the places. I also like the way the book is indexed in the back: active travel and adventure, culinary experiences, glorious nature, great golf, scenic drives, take the kids, etc. This makes it easy to search for a particular type of site, even if you don't know exactly what part of the country you want to see.
Book Review: This is THE travel bible for the US and Canada!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved Schultz' first book, "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" which covered the world! But, since I've traveled much more extensively in the US, I was eager to compare experiences. She 'nails' it everytime. I love the fact that this book includes festivals, art shows, restaurants, spas and yes, golf courses! All the sites of natural beauty(the Grand Tetons are my favorite)and history(Gettysburg is a must see)as well as the seemingly sacred sites of Birmingham and the Civil Rights trail...I began to think this book belongs in our schools for the kids to get a sense of the magic of our county. Brava, Ms. Schultz! Book Review: travel book

Summary: 5 Stars
We just got this book yesterday, but already I am planning our road trips for the next few months with this book's assistance. Excellent descriptions of places and events.
For example, we went to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta last year (2006) and the book's description of the Fiesta and surrounding area in New Mexico was outstanding and accurate.
In my opinion, if the author does this good of a job conveying information about something we are familiar with, then I will trust her about the other places she describes in her book.
The book is organized well with a nice index and use of pictures and maps. Text-heavy (which I like) and easy to read. We are excited about using it to add to our vacation trip experiences.
Book Review: Another Must Have Travel Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Schultz has come up with a companion book to her first best-selling book, and has done all the homework for us and has drawn up our To Do List: 1000 places in North America that should get even the most lethargic out of their armchairs. I like the balance of the wellknown and unknown, the extravagant and free-of-charge, the easily accessible and those gems way off the beaten track. Even those who proclaim they know America inside out will have a few hundred new must-do's to keep them busy and elated for the next few decades.
