Good, but needs maps,

This review is from: Guide to the Alaska Highway (Paperback)
This is a good overall guide to the Alcan, with almost all the information you need on the vehicle, the roads, history, etc.
The author seems to be an avid fishermen, so this topic is well addressed. He also devotes a huge chunk of the book to the various routes to Dawson Creek. You don't buy this book for a guide to driving from the myriad locations in the US to Dawson Creek. That's a different topic. Little or no attention was given to hiking, mountain biking, or winter travel. The major shortcoming was its lack of maps. A travel guide without good maps is, well, unacceptable.

I enjoyed reading this book & learned a lot from it. I plan to ride my Harley to Alaska from Texas in the next couple of years, so I really needed the information. It stirred my enthusiasm for the trip even more.
