The suggestions in this book were great, it's just the format and the lack of practical info that got to me.

Their ideas really were interesting, unique places that were worth going to. I found that there was some overlap between this one and the content for Tennessee from the Let's Go USA guide, but this one tended to have some more unique ideas.

I was using it on a road trip though, so I was hoping to use it as a reference guide on the go, but it didn't work so well for that. The format lends it more to being read like a novel, rather than glancing through it for quick inspiration. If you do decide you want to visit a place in the book, count on using other resources (a phone call, GPS, internet access, etc.) to figure out how to get to these places. There were few maps, no transit info, and even limited descriptions of how to get to beautiful rural nature sites - just a quick mention that the sites exist and are a few miles north/south/east/west of X city. No highways, no driving distances, no landmarks, etc.

I'm not aware of a better reference guide out there on Tennessee, so I'd recommend this to help you get some inspiration, but prepare to read it beforehand, not during, and compile your own information to help you find these places.
