About the Author
Some years ago Ginny Clark left the New York publishing scene to check out the west and never returned east. Before her western trek she worked for notable publishing houses such as Harper & Row and Thomas Y. Crowell. Before getting married she was with the San Francisco Chronicle and Stanford University Press.
A honeymoon trip down the John Muir Trail awakened her appreciation for the awesome beauty of the Sierra Nevadas. In 1976 Lew and Ginny Clark established Western Trails Publications to publish their guides. After Lew passed away Ginny continued the work they had planned together. And now she has added cookbooks to her line of travel guides. Other titles: Ansel Adams Wilderness, Yosemite Trails, The ABC's of Camp Cooking, The ABC's of Fish Cooking, and Let's Have a Party: Cooking for a Crowd.

Highway 395 Here We Come,
By Carolyn Zoelle (Placentia, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to Highway 395: Los Angeles to Reno (Travel and Local Interest) (Paperback)
This book is one of the best travel guides that I have ever used. There are so many historical landmarks and places of interest along Highway 395. This book encourages the reader to stop and visit. If time doesn't permit, it stimulates your curiosity and imagination. Ginny Clark uses her many years of travel on Hwy 395 to pass on her love of this unique area. This book has been loaned out to more people than any other book that we own. In fact, I am thrilled to find it on Amazon so that I can order it as a gift. Highly recommend!

This review is from: Guide to Highway 395: Los Angeles to Reno (Travel and Local Interest) (Paperback)
We purchased this book in preparation for a vacation in the area of Reno, Tahoe and eastern California, and it was a gem. We visited many sites we would not have known about except for this book, and had a great time. Out thanks to the author for writing this very useful book. We recommend it to anyone.

Not that great,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Guide to Highway 395: Los Angeles to Reno (Travel and Local Interest) (Paperback)
The concept is a good one for a guide book of a very scenic region of the United States. However, the actual implementation of that idea if poor. The maps are horrible. Bad copies of old maps that are barely readable. The directions are confusing and difficult to follow. The writing is stilted and often confusing. Overall, I can't recommend this book at all.
