The book is not easy to read. I realize that it is a thick book, but I wish there were more places listed in each state.It is a place to begin.

The author seemed to avoid the problem she had in her other "1000 Places...", of too many hotels, but I was annoyed by how many entries there were for scenic mountain ranges and artsy towns. There were plenty of interesting listings, but I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first one.

Every spring when my husband and I start to feel the need to get out of town for a few days and take a road trip, I pull out this book and daydream.
