GlevumGuy.: Lots of info in this book, though the type is small, a strain on my eyes, (I don’t need glasses normally), but readable. Each subject has a paragraph or two attached to it, so its a brief, national overview. Helpful for planning any trip across America, though a specialized book on each state en route will probably prove useful. Some of the accommodation is expensive. In Death Valley the listed Oasis is $409 to $506 nightly. But there are other cheaper alternative places to stay such as Furnace Creek Ranch and motels within easy reach of the valley in Lone Pine, (covered in another section of the book). (Lone Pine, a destination for movie buffs, is also close to the highest point in continental America, Mt Whitney. With the lowest in Death Valley, you might want to visit the two together).

The main problem I have with the book, through no fault of its own is for Route 66 it drives east to west. If traveling west to east, as we are, you must perform some extensive mental juggling, reading one, or several, paragraphs attached to each road section, memorizing and then reversing this information, (there ought to be an app for that), changing left to rights or east to west and...

Biography Reader: This road trip book has it all—everything needed for planning as well as an on-the-road guidebook. There’s fun “best of” lists but the geographic organization is the heart of the book. I checked road trips that I’ve done against the guide and found the info to be accurate, especially the suggested driving times, which were not overly aggressive. Another feature I really like is the emphasis on locally owned restaurants and accommodations and info about what’s unique to each region like winery tours and food specialties. The regional road trip maps are so useful for understanding distance, time, and recommended stops. The pull-out-folded US map in the back of the book is inspiring road trip dreams in me! I love the playlist and podcast suggestions for each region and I’m going to start listening even as I wait for it to be safe to hit the road again.
