Moon Handbooks Yosemite Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wish I had had this book when I first went to Yosemite a decade ago. It would have saved a lot of time and gotten me and my wife to more of the true highlights in the area. This book covers everything from the best trails to the best dining options in and near the park. It lists all the campgrounds in and around the park and notes which require reservations and which are available on a first come-first served basis. And of course it includes a lot of natural and human history in the park region. The book also features some nice full color maps.
What I particularly like about this guide is the organization. Each section (recreation, lodging, camping, etc) is subdivided into various park regions: Yosemite Valley, Hetch Hetchy, Wawona, Tioga Pass and the Eastern Sierra. As a result, readers have a clearer picture of all that Yosemite National Park has to offer. After reading this book, I will be exploring more of Hetch Hetchy on my next visit in early April. This guide is simply the most comprehensive look at Yosemite and is a must for planning vacations around.

A magical place, Yosemite National Park possesses all the hallmarks of the mythical western frontier -- towering granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, ancient stands of trees, steep mountains and beautiful alpine lakes.

Hidden Oahu 3 Ed: Including Waikiki, Honolulu and Pearl Harbor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book should be extremely helpful to anyone who, like myself, is planning a first trip to Oahu. Hidden Oahu is packed with information, in a highly readable, highly usable format. I like the way it lists attractions off the beaten path (hence the "Hidden" Oahu of the title), as well as the usual well-trod tourist attractions. Travelers who are adventurous and love to explore their destinations should love this book. I also like the way the author highlights the attractions you won't want to miss (in shaded boxes entitled "Check These Out"): the best of Oahu's restaurants, shopping (including specialty shops, such as local craft shops), museums and tourist attractions, resorts, beaches, etc. Most of all, I like the easy-to-use format of this book. Rather than lumping each type of attraction together ("beaches," "museums," "botanical gardens," etc.), this book sets out directions for a variety of driving tours and describes the attractions you will find along each route. Thus, you can easily preplan your driving adventures and make certain not to miss any of the island's attractions that fall along your way.
I might add that this book contains all the usual "before you go" warnings and advice that is standard fare in travel guides, as well as information on the history and culture of the island and some very useful information on Oahu's many outdoor sports and activities.

Best Places Destinations Olympic Peninsula Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The "Best Places" guides are not the most exhaustive guides to the destinations they describe, but they are very efficient because they focus on the attractions, restaurants, lodgings, and other useful information that the locally-based editors consider to be the best. I got this guide for a quickly-organized getaway to the Peninsula and was very happy with the restaurants and lodgings that we found through the book. There are also descriptions of a variety of activities, including museums, fishing, scenic drives, beaches, some shopping, and some hikes, although serious hikers will probably want a more complete guide to the trails.

Real Florida: A Travel Guide for the Passionate Yet Practical (The Budget Romance Traveler series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife and I agree with the philosophy of this book...we think it's definitely on the right track. We have grown weary of the gigantic Orlando resorts and their artificial commercialism. We prefer Lake Wales and Bok Tower, for example, places that are both old-fashioned and a sensory pleasure. The same is true of other destinations recommended in Real Florida, such as St. Petersburg and Sanibel Island, although the latter can be a stretch of the budget. The best part is, the people in these unique places are usually sincere and unaffected, and the pace is much more appealing than that of theme park mania. Congratulations to the author for his "budget-romance" concept

Hidden Carolinas: Including Ashville, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Great Smoky Mountains, Outer Banks, and Charleston Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a born and bred North Carolinian with deep ties to the South Carolina Low Country as well, I would NOT recommend this travel guide. The only thing hidden is well-rounded information. The section on my native Raleigh listed restaurants that had been closed (for a while) when the edition I read was printed. She also was off the mark about several cultural aspects about the area, making an inaccurate point to mention that most tourists come to Raleigh with low culinary expectations. That's a ridiculous statement considering the city has always been home to top cuisine along with down-home cooking. Establishments such as the Angus Barn, listed as one of the best steak restaurants in the country, Cooper's NC BBQ, and a plethora of additional eateries have put Raleigh and the entire Carolina region on the map for good food.
She makes comments about how Chapel Hill is devoid of native southerners and you'll be "hard-pressed to hear a southern accent" as the town is filled with northerners and westerners. Although many non-natives have moved to the area, Chapel Hill is a southern town; quintessential southern hospitality and laid back Carolina vibe. I went to school at the University of North Carolina and a majority of the students and staff are from North Carolina. AS for the accent? I don't have one and my family has lived in the Carolinas since 1670.
Most of her information seems to be copied poorly from other sources, without offering insight about the attraction. Many key attractions are skimmed over or left out. A few attractions are well described, but it's not consistent throughout the book. The section on South Carolina was lacking, especially Charleston.
I appreciate a simple travel guide with basic price and contact info, I also appreciate a detailed travel guide shedding light on the history and local culture of the area. I didn't think the author did either angle very well. I figured the "Hidden" title would offer more in the form of local culture and hidden gems for visitors not familiar to the area. Although certain "hidden" attractions were okay, it was nothing remarkable with outdated information in certain parts.
I'd recommend another travel guide for a basic or more detailed guide to the Carolinas.

Hidden Big Island of Hawaii: Including the Kona Coast, Hilo, Kailua and Volcanos National Park Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used the Hidden series before and liked them but this one is not up to speed. I found the pages to be light on information and the places that they recommended were where all the tourists go. In other words, "Hidden" was misleading. Better books are on the market.

Uniform System of Accounts for Restaurants Review

Although I certainly don't want to discourage interest in our publications, I want to point out that the customer who suggests skipping this book in favor of AHMA's uniform system has left out an important detail. The AHMA publications (there are actually two of them) are the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry and the Uniform System of Accounts for Health, Racquet, and Sportsclub Industry. While both of our publications include sections on food service, they are not focused on or designed solely for the restaurant industry, as is the Uniform System of Accounts for Restaurants.

The Craft Heritage Trails of Western North Carolina, 3rd Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is such a great find. It is an extensive listing of artists/studios/gallery's in western NC. We are avid art seekers and always use this guide whenever we head to this area and constantly recommend it to friends. I owned the first editions as well.
On one trip we followed the detailed instructions, taking us deep into the mountains way off the main road, and located a small shack full of beautiful pottery. The door was open, no one around (the artist's home was up the hill a little ways) and there was a note indicating if we wanted to purchase something to please fill out a sales ticket, add the appropiate tax, and stick it and your money in the cookie jar! It was art on the Honor system, it was so wonderful.
I highly recommend this book if you are interested in all kinds of art - from large gallery/gift stores to small shacks deep in the woods.

Autobiography of a Super Tramp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A timeless tale of a man who, by little fault of his own, finds the world has turned its back to him. The book is a true story, about the author's own struggle to exist, to exist and to write. A heart-warming account of how the penniless among society survive and sometime realize the dreams we all have within.
A true starving artist. Davies really did starve for his art. He achieved an amazing feat by saved his meager pennies for long cruel and cold years and months. He lived homelessly or more properly `tramped about'. Davies realized his dream and paid for the self-publishing of his first set of poems.
The preface by George Bernard Shaw after reading the works Davies sent him, recounted how Shaw found Davies living in a homeless shelter in London.
Sadly this book is no longer in print but can likely be found in most libraries.

1908. Mr. Davies is no propagandist of the illusions of the middle-class tramp fancier. You never suspect him of having read Lavengro, or got his notions of nomads from Theodore Watts Dunton. He does not tell you that there is honor among tramps. On the contrary, he makes it clear that only by being too destitute to be worth robbing and murdering can a tramp insure himself against being robbed and murdered by his comrade on the road. The tramp is fastidious and accomplished, audacious and self- possessed; but he is free from divine exploitation and the endless discountenance of being passed by as useless by the life force that finds superselfish work for other men.

Fodor's Official Guide to America's National Parks, 12th Edition (Special-Interest Titles) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I brought this book with me on a cross-country camping trip and it was extrememly useful. Each park has detailed information on Fees, What To Do, Lodging/Camping, and Hints and Tips. It was a great reference for basic knowledge about the National Parks. It doesn't have overly detailed information (each park has roughly a page to a page and a half), but it did help us decide whether or not we should check out each park. For more detailed information about each park, we simply asked the helpful rangers at each National Park.

How the other half lives; studies among the tenements of New York, by Jacob A. Riis; with illustrations chiefly from photographs taken by the author. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Heart-rending. The classic work which moved so many to support social reforms.
Riis's commitment to record, report, and assist the poor tells of another time, when standards were quite different. It is not surprising, then, that his language reflects the context of his time. Many of his words seem awkward and racist when evaluated according to modern standards. It will seem odd to some modern readers, to hear such sweeping and biased generalizations of the poor, together with such genuinely compassionate, impassioned pleas for fair and ethical treatment of the poor, issuing from the same source.
There is no irony here. It is rather a reminder of real progress we have made, thanks to efforts by Riis and others, that we now recoil at some of the assumptions Riis states so freely and comfortably, prejudiced impressions which were well accepted then. Grateful for the real reforms we have achieved, nevertheless we should not be so smug as to criticize Riis's language. After all, our own great-grandchildren will inevitably find some of our accepted habits quite horrifying, and many of our activities inhumane.
Riis's work -- his photography and reporting of the desperate circumstances of children and families in the tenements -- brought information of these tragedies to the general public, and motivated the enactment of legislation intended to protect the poor, especially children. This work marks a milestone in American history, and is not to be missed!

A Guide to Monastic Guest Houses: Fourth Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been wanting to review this book for some time. A friend gave me a copy as a gift. The concept of a "monastic" guest house was new to me. By reading this inviting guide I learned that the custom of accommodating guests in monasteries and convents is as old as Christian monasticism itself. I have had the opporunity to visit several of the guest houses included in the book. The research done by the author is certainly thorough and the broad denominational representation is good. Most importantly, I was rassured to know that all of the guest houses in the book will accommodate those of any faith...or no faith at all. Practical information such as addresses, telephone numbers, and directions are invaluable. Even if not planning to visit the monasteries, convents, and guest houses in the book, the Guide makes for interesting reading with its histories, descriptions, and other information about the orders and their way of life. The line drawings for each guest house add a finishing touch which make this book a delight to browse though, interesting reading, and an outstanding resource for the would-be modern day pilgrim. The New York Times, National Geographic Traveler and Arthur Frommer recommend A Guide to Monastic Guest Houses, and so do I!

Hidden Puerto Vallarta: Including the Bahia de Banderas and Sierra Madre Mountains (Hidden Travel) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall the guide is only marginally usefull. It does contain a few usefull tips about what one might do off the beaten path.
There is something troubling about the book though. There a number of mistakes in the book that could only be made by someone pretending to have done things like riding city buses or searching out local fare without actually having done those things.
At one point the author suggests you can catch a city bus from the airport but need exact change. You can indeed catch a municipal bus from the airport, but you don't need exact change. The drivers all make change within reason as they do everywhere in Mexico.
In the dining section the author mentions that it's hard to find mexican food in Vallarta. This claim is absurd. There small mexican restaurants all over Vallarta. Vallarta is after all a destination for mexican vacationers too, and there is a solid demand for decent mexican food, especially Jalisciense food (e.g. birria), a demand met by hundreds of small to medium size restuarants all over town. There are even a couple of large fondas serving basic mexican food to hundreds every evening.
Another error in the book makes me think the author doesn't even spend much time in Mexico at all. He mentions the Cinco de Mayo holiday and says that it celebrates the battle of Puebla, which it does, but he says that the battle ended french occupation, which it didn't. The Battle of Puebla was a victory against the french, but at the beginning of the intervention. The intervention followed, with Maximillian installed as emperor etc. The battle is celebrated as a holiday becuase immediately after the battle Juarez declared it a holiday and no one has dared to remove it, even though the battle itself was ultimately of little historical consequence.
Overall the book gives the impression of a not so astute armchair traveller who really doesn't have that much to offer in terms of how to enjoy Vallarta in a less touristy sort of way. More troubling than the errors that pepper the book is the sense that one gets that the author is trying to pass himself off as something he is not: an expert in travelling off the beaten path in Mexico.

Carroty Nell: The Last Victim of Jack the Ripper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's been almost 125 years since Jack the Ripper launched his reign of terror on the streets of London, and authors still churn out book after book on just about every aspect of his crimes except one - the unfortunate women who became his victims. Carroty Nell begins to fill that void, and does it well. It tells the story of Frances Coles, supposedly the last of the Ripper's victims. Despite the book's assertive sub-title, some controversy surrounds that claim, and some Ripper enthusiasts are convinced that she was the victim of a copycat killer.

Almost the first third of the book is given over to providing the reader with background information. Mr. Keefe is a gifted writer with a knack for story telling, and while his concise accounts of the other Whitechapel murders might be "page turners" to those who aren't familiar with Jack the Ripper, more experienced readers may feel that perhaps a little too much of the book is spent going over already-familiar ground.

The middle part explores the life of "Carroty Nell". Here's where we find that the author has done his homework, and done it well. His book dispels much of the misinformation about her that continues to find its way into print and onto the Internet. He provides an almost hour-by-hour account of her activities during the days and hours leading up to her murder in a desolate underpass. It makes for compelling reading.

The book ends by exploring the gradual shift in public opinion, from the widely held belief at the time of her death that she was a Ripper-victim to the doubts that are often expressed today, and shows how much of that change in attitude came about because of a tendency on the part of the public to readily accept any comments made by anyone connected with the investigations - statements that are more likely to be seen today as merely self-serving.

Carroty Nell is well researched and well written, and Mr. Keefe makes a good case for Frances Coles being Jack the Ripper's final victim. I found it to be both interesting and enjoyable.

The dimly-lit back streets of London's East End were practically deserted as a man and woman made their way through the pre-dawn darkness on a chilly February morning in 1891. No one saw the couple as they passed under the glare of a gas streetlamp, then turned and walked into a dark, tunnel-like passageway under some railway tracks. Had anyone been about, they might have taken the man to be a sailor, and they would have noticed that the woman was rather small and quite attractive. Victorians referred to people like her as unfortunates-impoverished women who turned to prostitution for survival. Her hope that night was just to earn enough money to get a place to sleep. Instead, she was destined to become the final victim of the dreaded killer known as Jack the Ripper.Carroty Nell tells the story of her tragic descent from a working class neighborhood to the mean streets of Whitechapel, and chronicles the events surrounding that fateful encounter.

The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World with Kids Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have purchased the Unofficial Guide to Wald Disney world once before when we were planning a trip- we didn't get to go, so I purchased the updated one just last month. Along with my order, I decided to add the Unofficial Guide "with kids" because we have 3 small children. I was very disapointed. This could have been a great accompaniment to the regular Unofficial Guide. For starters, in both my situations, the Unoffical Guide was A+ on info, I loved it. The "with kids" seemed to copy and paste bits from that book. But, the confusing part, is that they didn't copy and paste parts that I found to be most useful in the Unoffical Guide. I am confused about why you would need this book- and it lacks some of his personal insight. My guess is that he did not actually do Disney with children and it seems to show. The upside is that "with kids" does give web sites for outside the world hotels that is missing from the Unofficial Guide. I also did find a couple other tidbits like the section on packing and creating uniforms for your family. There is a lot of info on parenting style that is not found in the regular Unofficial guide- but I am still not sure why it is in this one either. I was so excited to see his insight and sad to say he didn't have any. Bottom line IMO is to skip this book, but don't skip the regular Unofficial guide. It is a 6 star book!!

The American Motel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love Michael Karl Witzel's books (his Route 66 book inspired me to drive the whole route). This may be his best one yet. It has great photos and interesting text and brings back wonderful memories of childhood vacations, when getting to spend the night in a motel was half the fun. But one of the other great aspects of this book is its ability to appeal to a variety of readers, not just fans of the motel. If you enjoy pop culture, roadtrips, roadside Americana, or traveling, this book is for you. I highly recommend it!

Taking their name from an amalgamation of the words motor and hotel, motels were conceived in the 1920s as roadside lodges for motorists who increasingly set out on vacations by car. As such, the motels development has largely paralleled that of the automobile. Michael Karl Witzel examines the evolution, architecture and decor of the motel in all its forms.
