North American Guide to Nude Recreation: The Most Comprehensive Listing of Nude Recreation Resorts and Clubs

Rating:
Summary: The AANR Bible of clothing-free/optional recreation
Review: The American Association of Nude Recreation (AANR) is a well established organization for clothing free/optional recreation, and one of the jewels in the AANR crown is this book.

The book thoroughly outlines each club in the US and Canada. Items such as addresses, phone numbers, and amenities of each club are meticulously detailed. So, if you're looking for a camp with a heated pool, tennis courts, sauna or snack bar, you'll easily find it herewithin.

Like many naturist/nudist publications, the book starts off with a brief intro about naturist/nudist lifestyles and why anyone would enjoy or consider a nude vacation. It is NOT a book outlining the social/political or health reasons for going nude, nor are the pictures within titillating or erotic (just like nude resorts-my favorite quote: "one nude draped on a divan is erotic; 100 nudes in line for potato salad are NOT"). It is an extremely detailed and well-researched guide to clothing free recreational areas; oh that TEXTILE CAMP GUIDES should be this thorough!!

While no *beaches* are highlighted in this book (there is a WORLD guide for that), it is a perfect starting point for anyone considering a nude vacation.

Rating:
Summary: A very poor guide!
Review: The name is VERY misleading. There is very little in it about Canada and only those resorts that are AANR members get listings. There are no nude beaches listed. Should be called The AANR Club Guide. A waste of money.
