Fodor's American Southwest, 1st Edition (Fodor's Gold Guides) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this little guide as we were getting ready to visit the Keys for the first time. It served us so well- like a tour guide in my pocket! It takes you through all of the Keys, beautifully organized by the different islands, with maps that allows you quick reference to "key" places. We used it to visit the "off beat" places that many tourists miss but makes sure to guide you to the very popular attractions as well. Thanks to this little book, our reservations were made before we left and we were not disappointed.This trip for us was a short one, only 6 days, and without this guide, we would not have made the most out of the time we had. From places to stay, things to see and do, and historical references we felt totally oriented to the islands before the trip began. It made the trip easy, relaxing and a whole lot of fun!

Watch It Made in the U.S.A.: A Visitor's Guide to the Best Factory Tours and Company Museums Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought both this book and "Inside America" (theother book that Amazon lists...I reviewed that too..don't bother withit!). This book is really nice. It was so well thought out: 1. There are color pictures of what you would see in some of the factories. 2. It tells you whether you actually get to TOUR the factory or whether you will be looking through a window or a watching a video. 3. Tells whether you get freebies. 4. At first I was disappointed because there were so few entries for CT and NJ but when I read the beginning of the book they explained EXACTLY the reason for some states having so few and how they picked the tours for the book. 5. Each tour has like 4-5 paragraphs dedicated to describing it. 6. Tells cost. 7. Tells you anything "special" you might need to know like: the CRAYOLA tour in PA is first come first serve so you might get there and not be allowed in (I personally know of 5 people this happened to... so I specifically checked to see if this would be mentioned). 8. This was geared towards the average person...and specifically families.
I'm crazy when it comes to details and I was thrilled that these people were too. I was very impressed when things would be in parenthesis saying they double checked all information but that you should still call ahead. END
