 Non-Biased and Up-To-Date April 17, 2008

When I first received my Lonely Planet USA book in the post I noticed it was very heavy. The book itself is over 1000 pages long and personally I thought it was going to be a huge drag to read, but when I finally found tht time to start, I couldn't stop!
The book includes the hisotry of America, food and drinks, weather, the environment and entertainment sections just to brief you on what America is like and not once was I bored. It was all up-to-date and really interested me, even though I thought it would be a boring section in the book!
It has plenty on everything with a lot of the authors of the book experiencing what they have written and reviewed.
I recommend it to anyone who is going to America for the first time and wants to visit some amazing locations you may not have heard about!!
4.5/5
Good Book May 24, 2008

I bought this bok because i travel a lot in the states.
I used it first for the westcoat. Its a good book, sometimes i missed
some sort of walking route or sights route. I like those stuff like "must see's".
I also used the Lonely Planet book for California. It had much more intersting stuff in there than the one for the whole america.
So if you plan to travel more than one week in the same state, i would recommend to buy the Lonely Planet book for the particular state.
A saviour to me and my husband and our AMERICAN housemates! December 22, 2008

We have made many journeys based around the information that we have gained from this great book. It has helped us through many situations where we would have been lost without it- even with our two American housemates as tour guides they have found the book a great help to them also. Considering that it is a book that has tried to fit in an entire continent- and a large and full one at that it contains a lot of great and helpful information! And it is a relatively small book- I carry it either in my handbag or backpack when travelling. Like most lonely Planet guides it has not just information on the cool things to do and see how the stories behind them, but also a lot of information on sleeping, eating, stores etc., which I myself don't find terribly useful as I tend to plan that stuff ahead on line nor to I travel to shop, however for many who do not work that way it is a great help! I would recommend it not just to people travelling the USA but those who live here and might want to make trips, even learn some new things about the area they come from!
