Summary: A portal to the possibilities
Review: A sage once told me "A journey should be meticulously planned, yet organically executed". Truer advice I've never been given; serendipity SHOULD rule your travels. HOWEVER, you gotta start somewhere, and this wonderful book is the portal to possibilities. It'll bring out the wanderlust in anyone. I'm giving it to my parents for Christmas. My only quibble is that the thumbnail sketches are too, well, sketchy. I suppose further depth would have produced a book of unworkable size. P.S.: The Smithsonian puts out some awesome travel guides. Check 'em out.

Summary: Not a great choice!
Review: If you are a serious traveller who "clips and keeps" travel information, then this book is not for you. If you are a "some time traveller" then you might enjoy this book. I found that this book includes mostly items which are found in the state highway guides published by every state which most serious travellers would already have. However, the pictures were pretty, but I don't like to spend that much money for pretty pictures!

Summary: Not a great choice!
Review: Me and my wife were able to follow about a dozen out of the 120 sugested road trips, in very diferent locations of USA (Florida, New England and California/Nevada/Arizona). This book prove to be a great guide for us because it shows really wonderful places, the way to get there and good tips. It was our one month best friend; even now I love to review its pictures, showing the beautiful places we did see and the ones we couldn't. The quality of the photographs is simply outstanding. We considered ourselves very lucky to find this book in the beginning of our trip. The best of all the three we had.

Summary: Stunning pictures, precise text.
Review: Only a company with the marketing and publishing heft of the Reader's Digest could produce a "coffee table" book that you can buy for $25 (from Amazon, retail is $30+). Don't go traveling without reading the section on the country you'll be traveling through.
