Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This first edition of an annual guide devoted exclusively to historic B&B accommodations includes over 2000 inns and guesthouses. Most entries provide the usual information about location, cost, etc. There are no ratings. Some entries are very basic, while others are richly descriptive. The handsome pen-and-ink sketches are a plus. Books with broader coverage, e.g., Pamela Lanier's Complete Guide to Bed & Breakfasts, Inns and Guesthouses (LJ 10/1/84; Muir, 1986. rev. ed.), will be more useful in most libraries. Recommended for appropriate larger collections. Carolyn I . Alexander, USACDEC Technical Information Ctr., Fort Ord, Cal.

5.0 out of 5 stars My New Hobby, September 14, 2000

By 

Kimberly Underwood (Atlanta, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Official Guide to American Historic Inns (Bed & Breakfasts & Country Inns, 7th Edition) (Paperback)

My new hobby is scanning this book from cover to cover highlighting all of the wonderful inns I'm going to visit. This is a delightful book of very reasonably priced inns in the US and Canada. Every entry provides unusual information about the inns, mouth-watering breakfasts offered and local attractions. This book is well worth the money and is easily one of the best (if not the best) travel books I've ever purchased. I've highlighted over 20 inns to visit and I'm not even halfway through the book.
