I recently spent two months on the great American highways with a copy of Let's Go in the passanger seat, a trunk full of dirty clothes, and a warm soda in the cup holder. It was the experience of a lifetime, and I owe much of it to Let's Go: USA. If you are looking for _the_ American travel guide -- a guide without pretense, cut corners, or boring prose -- use this book. This guide really captures the quirky flavor of travel, without sacrificing accuracy.

I'm Planning a cross country trip that will cover many states! I have 2 months to do it all. I was having such a hard time figuring out what exactly I'm going to be doing on my trip. It seems like there are sooo many places to go. This book Takes you there! It has so much information compiled between the covers. One has to think how much time and effort was put into the production of it. It goes as far as to give prices and times that certain attractions are open. There are also maps of the places you want to go. The purpose of this book as a whole I think would be to let you know of the big places to visit, but also the places that everyone else misses out on. I enjoyed this book and continue to process the unbelievablt amount of information that it provides. Thanks Let's Go

I was reluctant about buying a Lets Go title as I had seen bad reviews of them before, but when I only saw good reviews of this one I went ahead and bought the book. To put it bluntly, it wasn't worth the weight in my pack. Addresses were wrong, vital information was missing, prices were vastly underquoted... even the Essential Information in the beginning was unhelpful. And given the strength of the US dollar, what is "budget" to the American Lets Go team is very seldom "budget" to those of us whose currencies are weak against the US one. I'll be sticking to Lonely Planet.
