5.0 out of 5 stars Wow - $130 really?, July 16, 2009

Paige R. Penland "Paige R. Penland" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: California Highway (Lonely Planet Road Trip) (Paperback)

Wow - I'm the author and I'm really shocked and flattered that my little book is going for $130... although this means that I can't afford a new one, or even a used one, lol. Does this make it a cult classic or a collector's item? Anyway, I poured my heart into this project, it feels great that you all appreciate it. I hope I have the chance to write another guide to California Highway 1 someday, those are 650 of the most beautiful miles in the world.

This review is from: California Highway (Lonely Planet Road Trip) (Paperback)

Just used the book for a road trip up the PCH. I found the book very useful, with great info, recommendations and maps. The book is also the perfect size. It can fit in a pocket, so you can carry it with you without declaring to the world that you are a tourist.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
I was hoping for more. No pictures. Not a lot of information. It does have a handy little map, though.
