Covering the U.S.A. and Canada like never before, here are 1,000 spectacular, compelling, essential, offbeat, utterly unforgettable places. Pristine beaches and national parks, world-class museums and the Corn Palace, mountain resorts, salmon-rich rivers, scenic byways, Chez Panisse and the country's best taco, lush gardens and Holden Arboretum, mountain biking on the Maah Daah Hey trail, historic mansions, vineyards, hot springs, the Talladega Superspeedway, classic ballparks, and more.

Summary: Great Fun
Comment: It is fun to page through this book and check off places you have been and see what places you might like to visit.
If you asked a hundred people for a thousand places to see before you die, you might get a list similar to this. There is no doubt that you can do what other reviewers have done and thought of something that should be on the list but isn't. Overall however, this is a well thought out list with a wide variety of things to see and do.
This book is interesting in the types of 'places' it has listed. There are whole cities listed (Roswell, New Mexico), specific places within one city (Stockyards at Fort Worth Texas) and even events (Texas State Fair) and luxury hotels (Bellagio in Las Vegas). Some places listed cover several things all at once; for example, Food in New Orleans listed two or three very well known places to eat.

Summary: Great gift idea
Comment: I love the idea behind putting this book together. It's neat to look through this book and see the places that I have already visited. Now when I drive through certain states I will make sure to visit these sites that I didn't know were such landmarks! I am getting this book for all of my friends for Christmas who I know take one or two vacations a year or who travel for work...heck, if you pass through several states on your way to your destination, you can knock out more of these than you think! Great idea for a book!

Summary: Unbelieveable!
Comment: I enjoy traveling and always looking for a new place to explore and what to do when I am there. This book tells you exactly that and more. When the best time to go and how much you will be spending on rooms and excursions. I really enjoyed going through this book and highlighting where I have been and where I want to go. This book is exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU!!
