Summary: Discover America: A Comprehensive Travel Guide to Our Countr
Review: Never underestimate the Reader's Digest. Here it has given us a beautiful and comprehensive volume that serves as an excellent reference resource to important travel destinations throughout America's 50 states. This is not a travel guide to take along when exploring the United States but rather a single-volume planner that allows readers to map out an informed, well-constructed trip to any part of the United States. The book is organized in eight sections-New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Midwest, the Great Plains, the South, the Southwest, the Mountains and the West, and the Pacific States-that are then broken down by state. Information for each state includes an introduction, an overview map, and brief statistics. Major sightseeings destinations are described, special attraction, highlighted, and color photographs often included. Each section contains large roadmaps that are excellent for planning. The volume ends with a comprehensive gazetteer. Highly recommended for all travel collections

Summary: Big Beautiful Comprehensive Planning Book
Review: This is the book to use to plan for travel anywhere in America. It is not a book to take with you while traveling. It is too big and heavy for that purpose. To be used in preparation for an upcoming trip or vacation this book has more than 1200 brilliant color photographs and 100 pages of detailed road maps.
