Customers say

Customers find the travel book great for cross-country trips and appreciate its beautiful color photos. Moreover, the book serves as a fun reference for vacation planning and makes a good gift for travelers. However, the information quality receives mixed feedback – while some find it full of great information, others say it only provides basic details. Additionally, the map content and value for money also get mixed reviews, with some praising the state highlights while others note the lack of maps, and some consider it a good buy while others find it overpriced.

    Beautiful 287 page book, lots of ideas for future exploring!
    We ordered this book, so we could discover new places in the USA, that we haven’t been before. It’s a nice 7″ x 9″ sturdy book, done by National Geographic, that will hold up well with lots of research. It also has 10 Canadian Provinces included. Lots of good ideas of where and when to go, and what to see and do, hidden treasures and little known facts. We recommend this book.

    Extensive
    Arrived right on time. Very extensive, could be a bit larger print. Love the spiral bound, it lays flat when opened.

    Beautiful book but heavy
    Gorgeous photos and great inspiration for travel, but it only includes a handful of options per state. I like that it includes Canada. Personally, I could do with less photos and more information.

    Made for a great gift & surprise!
    We live in WA, I purchased tickets to Chicago and put them in Illinois section and gave that as a gift so it was a nice surprise. We love traveling so this will be fun to bring with as we road trip the states! Recommend for people who have the travel bug, like me!

    250 pages / 50 states = 5 pages per state
    Not sure why it surprised me, but 250 pages / 50 states = 5 pages per state. Each mentioned area gets one maybe 2 paragraphs. So yeah, a little sparse on details. Is it helpful… maybe, but I was looking for more specific places to visit. No maps included, but there are some beautiful pictures.

    Great Idea Book
    Gives snippets of each state with some history and places of interest. Not comprehensive but mostly highlights.

    Bought this book to help with holiday planning of an epic road trip.Lots of good information about each state, highlights key cities and towns with points of interest.The only downside is that it doesn’t help with when to go to these states.Bit dissatisfied that it claims to tell you this on the cover, but doesn’t follow through on the inside…

    I love visiting the USA & am currently working towards visiting all 50 states. Normally before I visit a new state, I spend a while searching the internet for ideas of things to see & do.I had hoped that this book would cut down my researching time (after all it does have ‘5000 ideas’ in the title), maybe including lists with a 100 ideas per state but this wasn’t the case. It did give a spread per state, but the ideas side of things was disappointing. There were just bulky paragraphs to wade through & I certainly would be surprised if this lived up to the 5000 ideas claim.Overall, this book didn’t meet my needs so I ended up returning it. What works for me when I’m researching is bullet points or lists with minimal wording (anything that takes my fancy I can look into further). This didn’t seem to be any better for that than any other guide book & certainly no better than what information you can find online.If you’re looking for more limited information for each state in one place then this maybe more suitable for you.
