5.0 out of 5 stars Great for a nationwide trip

This was just what I needed: a book to tell me where is worth visiting across the US. Not every place is given equal weight, so you get the real story on what is worth seeing as opposed to a democratic unhelpful index of all the sights in the country. I think their recommendations are good and appropriate for both families and non-kid travelers; they have the most beautiful natural sights and the most significant cultural sights. Special areas like Yellowstone and the biggest metropolis' get full-page maps and descriptions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vibrant DK book
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2014

This is a nice book. As with other DK books, this has vibrant photos that make your perusing exciting. It has a basic overview of the US, noting most major land-marks, parks/forests, etc. I wouldn't rely on it to actually plan a trip, but it is useful for the initial stages of planning a road trip (when you're trying to figure out what your destinations will be). There is also a table in this book that tells you the miles from one major city to another for planning purposes. I found this extremely useful.

I bought this book to find out where in the USA I want to travel with my new camper and my babies (pets). I keep this book by my side to read at every spare moment. This book has become my retirement guide to life. Recommended, recommended, recommended if you want to enjoy the USA.

I bought this guide and I found this very useful. You can read all the historic information about a place, with pictures. I know that nowadays we can find almost everything on the internet but a printed travel guide is still important for me.

The book gives a general ideas of each places and does not highlight the places that is must go or suggest itinerary for 3 days or 1 week.
I still prefer to research with Tripadvisor.

Not highly recommend.

I'm sure this guide is great as we've had other Eyewitness books. I was promised it would arrive in two days - it didn't and we have left that address for several weeks. Very disappointing. This was the fault of the carrier and Amazon have been generous enough to extend our "prime" membership for a month and a free 1 day delivery when we order again.

The book is a very sturdy book. I only gave it 4 stars because some of the information could be more up-t0-date and there could be more information about some of the sites. I would recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars An essential guide to the USA
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 12, 2013

After booking some scarily expensive flights to North America I thought I'd better get myself clued up on the country and what the areas I was visiting had to offer.

The guide breaks the USA down into geographical areas (the bigger states have their own sections) and gives an overview of the major cities, cultures and traditions, national parks and 'must see/do' landmarks and activities. It's very information dense, but doesn't include unnecessary bumpf (great word) that you'd have to wade through. It does include some history of the USA which I found really interesting and some of the photos are really stunning.

The only drawback is that it's a very heavy book which I suppose you'd expect with it trying to do all of the states equal justice and it being a very large country! I didn't take it with me for this reason, I relied on the more compact 'Top 10' guides which were concentrated on particular cities and very very useful.

I'm looking forward to using it to plan some more trips and it's an excellent book to have on the bookshelf for when you just fancy a flick through!
