Scenic Driving INDIANA, by Douglas Wissing, is an informative and enjoyable guide to the back roads and less travelled byways of the Hoosier state. Each chapter details a tour (a variety of tours are offered, with all parts of the state represented) with an overview, excellent directions, points of interest along the way, and historical commentary. This well-organized book balances general information with interesting details, including easy-to-read maps and excellent photography. I keep a copy in the glove compartment of my car, for those lazy Sunday afternoons when I'm looking for a place to explore.

Great book about the most historic, prettiest, friendliest state in America. Should be required reading for all arrogant folks on the coast who don't visit the midwest. (And I say this as someone raised on the coasts but who matured and realized where America's heart is!)
