Rating:  Summary: Have you ever heard of Florida? Review: I received my book today and went directly to the section on Florida. Oh too bad, they don't have Florida in the book. The longest state of all and it's not there. In the middle of nowhere when you could really use the information the most . it's not there. I know they will bring out Drive I-95, Florida version, in the near future and over charge for that one too.
Rating:  Summary: Don't leave home without Drive I-95 Review: The authors of this great guidebook have obviously spent a great deal of time on Interstate 95. They've checked out all 420 exits from Massachusetts to Florida from both directions. The maps in the book are easy to read, and include detailed, color-coded info about services and attractions at every exit. Speed limits are indicated in varying shades of gray. You can tell at a glance how fast you should be going on any stretch.One of the best features of Drive I-95 is the information about offbeat attractions not far off the road. If visiting the supposed birthplace of the hamburger is not exactly a destination, it can sure reduce the tedium of a long drive. So might the amazing laundromat in Maryland the Posners describe, where you can play pool while your shorts dry. I-95 is one of the most heavily traveled roadways in North America. Thanks to the Posners' book, it can now also be one of the most enjoyable ones.
Rating:  Summary: Road maps, history, and trivia Review: The collaborative effort of Stan Posner and Sandra Phillips-Posner, (and sporting a spiral binding to lay open flat for easy reference), Drive I-95 offers a an impressive collection of road maps, history, and trivia specifically ideal for tourists and travelers concerning the highway route from Boston to the Florida border. Black-and-white photographs, concise yet expressive summaries of excellent tourist hotspots, as well as blank pages especially for jotting down "driving memories", and a great deal more pack the pages of this "user friendly" travel-by-road guide.
Rating:  Summary: A user-friendly gold mine of serious info and fun facts Review: This book makes a seemingly ordinary highway come alive with fun at the exits along the way. It makes you look forward to your next long-distance drive and eliminates that nagging are-we-there-yet syndrome. Stan and Sandra have done an amazing job conquering the challenge of including a vast amount of information in a friendly manner and with a clear layout for easy use. You just want to read their entertaining guide book with practical and unusual maps before and during the trip, to plan ahead, to stop, rest and enjoy the journey and not just the destination. An immensely useful and enjoyable book for many trips to come!
