The American Association of Nude Recreation (AANR) is a well established organization for clothing free/optional recreation, and one of the jewels in the AANR crown is this book.

The book thoroughly outlines each club in the US and Canada. Items such as addresses, phone numbers, and amenities of each club are meticulously detailed. So, if you're looking for a camp with a heated pool, tennis courts, sauna or snack bar, you'll easily find it herewithin.

Like many naturist/nudist publications, the book starts off with a brief intro about naturist/nudist lifestyles and why anyone would enjoy or consider a nude vacation. It is NOT a book outlining the social/political or health reasons for going nude, nor are the pictures within titillating or erotic (just like nude resorts-my favorite quote: "one nude draped on a divan is erotic; 100 nudes in line for potato salad are NOT"). It is an extremely detailed and well-researched guide to clothing free recreational areas; oh that TEXTILE CAMP GUIDES should be this thorough!!

While no *beaches* are highlighted in this book (there is a WORLD guide for that), it is a perfect starting point for anyone considering a nude vacation.

I've got the 20th edition, haven't used it yet but it seems reasonably thorough. For your money you get a travel guide that covers just about everything briefly without being too wordy. You do not get a picture book although there are some, generally small, photographs not of the pornographic sort of people and of some of the sites. I do wish that they did a better job of telling which resorts and clubs admit singles. At least you get websites, email and mail addresses and phone numbers to contact each location.

This book is only for those interested in organized, family- oriented, recreational naturism in campgrounds and resorts around the U.S. If you are looking for any information on beaches or other areas to go naked, this is NOT the book for you! What little information about nude beaches that is included is woefully inadequate, so don't be fooled by the cover!

Not really detailed enough to help -- several web sights that give you this much or more info on these places -- and they are FREE -- but if you want something to travel with (as I did) -- then by all means -- take it along -- just call ahead to be sure things have not changed too much --

The name is VERY misleading. There is very little in it about Canada and only those resorts that are AANR members get listings. There are no nude beaches listed. Should be called The AANR Club Guide. A waste of money.
