Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Ghost town aficionados, Western history buffs, desert lovers, backroads wanderers--all will find Varney's guide interesting and useful. Over 50 sites are listed with readable histories, colorful descriptions, and detailed directions. The guide is arranged geographically in four sections from north (Inyo) to south (San Diego). Each section concludes with summary information, including topographic map references and road conditions. The enthusiasm with which Varney describes his topic is contagious. Readers will want to jump in their cars (four-wheel drive not needed) and go. Extremely readable and informative, and profusely illustrated with photos, maps, and drawings, this is recommended for all public libraries in Southern California and most major public libraries in the United States.

3.0 out of 5 stars Limited but OK, December 2, 2007
By James Sheehan "jsheehanpac" (Charlotte, North Carolina United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

The book is a nice, but limited resource as it has been quite a few years since publication. Photos are B&W, but it is generally well written and has directions to the sties that are described.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Guide, October 18, 2006
I used this book on a trip to Southern California and tried to find of the few ghost towns with a friend. We had a good time locating some on a day trip. Pictures were good but a little old.
