USA (Country Guide)

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!

it is kind of dangerous to read this book cause it gives you a lots of ideas!!!!
and you want to see everything in the USA...

easy to find what you want in it, good maps, good advice...

I got the book a little to late. Not because of Amazon, but UPS did not deliver as promised. After having a quick look in the book I see alot of things I should have done during my weeks in the US, but now it's to late.

Next time I'll promise you, next time :)

The USA Lonely Planet guide is a fantastic, detailed resource for those of us that have not travelled the vast expanses of the USA but want to get to the 'nitty gritty' of of a city or place. The inclusion of places to eat is very useful and the many 'things to do' are mostly very interesting to a newcomer like me.

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.
