2.0 out of 5 stars
not so accurate,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lonely Planet USA (Country Travel Guide) (Paperback)
I bought this book before driving from Savannah GA to Los Angeles CA at the begining of this summer and I thought that this last edition (april 2010) would have been updated, but it wasn't. We tried to go to a BBQ restaurant they suggest in Memphis and when we got there it was not only out of business but it was also in a sketchy neighborhood. The information about Graceland was incomplete, no address at all, only a website (if you buy the book is because you don't have internet in the car or phone right?). A good thing that the book has is a map with milage and time between major cities.

Non-Biased and Up-To-Date,

This review is from: Lonely Planet USA (Country Guide) (Paperback)
When I first received my Lonely Planet USA book in the post I noticed it was very heavy. The book itself is over 1000 pages long and personally I thought it was going to be a huge drag to read, but when I finally found tht time to start, I couldn't stop!
The book includes the hisotry of America, food and drinks, weather, the environment and entertainment sections just to brief you on what America is like and not once was I bored. It was all up-to-date and really interested me, even though I thought it would be a boring section in the book! It has plenty on everything with a lot of the authors of the book experiencing what they have written and reviewed. I recommend it to anyone who is going to America for the first time and wants to visit some amazing locations you may not have heard about!! 4.5/5

3.0 out of 5 stars
just okay,
This review is from: Lonely Planet USA (Country Guide) (Paperback)
By trying to pack so much information into one book, this one loses the depth I've come to expect from Lonely Planet. I just can't imagine a trip where this would be more helpful than the more specific, regional books on the United States. Also, Lonely Planet in general offers some of the best travel guides out there, but is very urban-focused and doesn't offer a lot for someone hoping to get a little further off the beaten path and outside the cities.
