The Texas Guide

Summary: A Texan who knows all about Texas!
Review: I received a copy of The Texas Guide by Gary James as a gift. The anecdotes and stories about family, friends and places make this travel guide a unique reading experience. It made me feel like I was reading a friend or relatives first hand account of a trip they took. Texans like to brag and Gary does an outstanding job of "bragging" about one of the friendliest places in the world! Gary has traveled from Texarkana to El Paso and from Wichita Falls to Brownsville covering the great State of Texas for his show--from great food and great music to wonderful fishing holes and golf courses and on to the small, relatively unknown little spots in the road, it is apparent tht Gary has experienced them all first hand! I collect books of all kinds on Texas and this is the best I have read. Congratulations, on an informative, witty, wonderfully well-written book on the best place in the world! Makes me homesick!

Summary: out of date material
Review: On page 286, the book states that the Audie Murphy room in Greenville is located in the Walworth Harrison Library on Lee St. (1) a new library was built about eight years ago and the Audie Murphy room was moved to the Cotton Museum, which is not mentioned as something to see and do.

In the area of Kingsville, the Kings Inn on Baffin Bay is not mentioned as a place to eat. It is one of the oldest and finest seafood restaurents in Texas, while Carl's Corner is near Hillsboro is listed. A truck stop.

I realize that compiling all this information was a big task, and that sometimes data goes out of date as fast as you write it.
