Book Description

April 10, 2001 Frommer's $ A Day
Frommer's is the name you can trust for great travel bargains. Our acclaimed $-a-Day series is not for backpackers who want to rough it, but for travelers with taste, who've outgrown their student lifestyle and demand comfortable accommodations and good, authentic meals at a reasonable price. Each guide is loaded with detailed listings for mom-and-pop motels, B&Bs, comfortable guesthouses, good-value bistros, and ethnic restaurants. You'll find a bargain-hunter's shopping guide, affordable fun after dark, and complete sightseeing coverage, including the best things to do for free (or almost).

Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go--they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. Every Frommer's $-a-Day Guide is up-to-date, with dozens of color maps and exact prices for every single expense, so you can accurately plan each day's budget. Frommer's knows that affordable travel doesn't have to mean making sacrifices. It's about having fun and getting a great deal!

Engaging, personal, and highly opinionated, Frommer's California from $60 a Day has everything you need for an affordable but unforgettable trip to the Golden State. You'll find hundreds of candid reviews of inviting places to stay, from cozy Napa Valley B&Bs to family-friendly motels at the beach, for as little as $25 per person a night! We'll help you find great dining at unbelievably low prices, from cutting-edge California cuisine to authentic Chinese and Mexican specialties.

You'll get a complete budget sightseeing guide, from Gold Country towns to Disneyland and the San Diego Zoo--plus spectacular coastal drives, cable car rides, wine tastings, Hollywood TV tapings, and more. We've got all the details on California's fabulous beaches, natural wonders, and national parks, plus the best budget golf, skiing, and whale watching. And we've even thrown in a free color fold-out map!

You'll find more in-depth coverage of great bargains in the City by the Bay in Frommer's San Francisco from $60 a Day. If you'd like more upscale coverage, check out Frommer's California, Frommer's San Francisco, Frommer's Los Angeles, Frommer's San Diego, and Frommer's Portable California Wine Country. Frommer's Yosemite & Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks is a detailed guide to the best trails and camping in these magnificent preserves -- and it's small enough to fit into your backpack!

About the Author

About the Authors Combining the only three things he's good at—eating, sleeping, and criticizing—Matthew R. Poole has found a surprisingly prosperous career as a freelance travel writer. He has written and co-authored more than 20 travel guides to California and Hawaii, including Frommer's San Francisco from $60 a Day. A native northern Californian, he currently lives in San Francisco but spends most of his time on the road. Mary Anne Moore is co-author of the Unofficial Guide to Bed & Breakfasts in California and has contributed to numerous other travel books, including Frommer's California 2001. In her non-writing life, Mary Anne is a legislative consultant in the California State Capitol, spending her off hours traveling the globe in search of places even more wonderful than California. So far, she hasn't found any. A native of Los Angeles and an avid traveler, antiques hound, and pop-history enthusiast, Stephanie Avnet Yates believes that California is best seen from behind the wheel of a little red convertible. Stephanie writes Frommer's San Diego, Frommer's Los Angeles, and Frommer's Wonderful Weekends from Los Angeles, in addition to contributing to several other regional guidebooks and Web sites. Online, Stephanie can be reached directly at savvy_girl@hotmail.com.
