Editorial Reviews

Review

"The latest in the batch of Moon Handbooks releases proves again that Moon is one of the finest travel series around. What sets Moon apart from most guidebooks is the attention to detail, and more importantly, a respect for the topic."

About the Author

Thomas Huhti is a born and bred Cheesehead. Itchy feet and wanderlust having been hallmarks of his family tree, he developed a serious case of anywhere-but-here at a young age, which took him to China during university. He stayed there, finding ways to flee graduate school, which ultimately led to a five-year stint travelling the globe and living out of a backpack. Moon took him on, and thus began the four-year pilgrimage about the state (and to libraries), researching the first edition tome, mostly done as a Labour of Love and as a gift to his parents, worthy Badgers both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wisconsin: From A to Z, December 14, 2000

Wisconsin Traveler (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Moon Handbooks: Wisconsin (1st Ed.) (Paperback)

Want to know where the talking cow statue is? How about where to find some of the state's best pie, or scenery, or the sites with great local atmosphere? Huhti's book offers it all, thoroughly covering every region in the state--pointing out highlights and lowlights throughout Wisconsin. It's all interspersed with historical tidbits and local color, providing a wonderfully in-depth guide to the Badger State. I write a statewide travel column and it is an invaluable tool. Defintely recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Travel Wisconsin Without It, December 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Moon Handbooks: Wisconsin 2 Ed: Including Door Peninsula (Paperback)

If you are coming to Wisconsin bring this book with you and if you are a resident keep it in your glovebox. It covers all the obvious attractions as well as a wonderful selection of off the beaten path destinations. Huhti also give us heaps of interesting historical background and his love of the Badger State shines clearly through all 570 pages.

This review is from: Moon Handbooks Wisconsin (Paperback)

This guidebook exceeded my expectations. Appropriate detail, lots of history, wonderful dining and lodging suggestions. I can definitely credit this book with contributing to making our recent Door County vacation a hit. We stayed in an amazing bed and breakfast and every meal we had was delicious, which is not an easy feat considering we had never been in Door County before. I only disagree with a few of the suggestions.
