"Northwest 2001" is a great book for those looking to venture through Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Alberta, British Columbia, and Manitoba.

It's a typical travel guide that is extremely useful. My wife and I did a two week tour through most of the states listed last autumn (Oct. 2001) and this guide gave us many ideas on things to do and where to stay/dine.

Included inside are: mileage chart, important toll-free numbers and on-line information, maps, info on specific cities and regions, brief summary of city backgrounds, what to see and do, motels/motor lodges, hotels, resorts, annual events, B&Bs/small inns, restaurants, and more.

As far as the integrity of the book, it is considered paperback. However, it is thicker than most and almost feels like a light hardback. The book is somewhat slender so that it fits nicely in most places. Pages are glossy so they will not run are smudge. My greatest complaint is that the bounding isn't solid and a few pages want to break away so you have to be somewhat careful with it while on your travels. That's the only ting that truly detracts from this book.

Don't expect very detailed information as the book covers a huge area. However, you'll find more than you bargained for on most cities, towns and areas with much sufficient information to make your life easier during your travels. As you can tell, it is current and we've never had a problem with outdated info.

I recommend the book as long as you take care to not accidently tear out pages.
