Amtraking: A Guide to Enjoyable Train Travel

Rating:
Summary: A must for using Amtrak
Review: I have taken Amtrak across country. I wish I had known about Mauris Emeka's book before I went. Emeka, a car attendant for Amtrak is extremely knowledgable about the service and how you can make your ride as comfortable as possible. The only thing I might have changed is that I would have cut out the first chapter on railroad history. While interesting for a train buff, I don't think it added anything. I did enjoy his explanations on how to buy your tickets and get the best fare, as well as keeping fit on a long trip, the dining car, etc. I plan to buy the book and carry it with me on any Amtrak trip. I hope Mr. Emeka does updates as needed.

Summary: An awesome way to travel!
Review: I took my first train trip last year, and had a great experience all around. Mr. Emeka's book is THE book to have when planning an Amtrak trip. I'd love to see an updated version, but this one has a lot of helpful tips on making travel most enjoyable. Buying tip--don't pay $28 for the used copies. Send $11.95 to the Apollo Publishing Company (listed under the Editorial Review section) and you'll get a new copy.
