This review is from: Texas (Insight Guide Texas) (Paperback)

The book is full of useful information, suggestions of where to go, and also has detailed maps of downtowns of all the major cities in Texas. Pictures are really beautiful. If you plan to go to Texas, this book is all you need, for preparations, and for the trip itself.

This review is from: Texas (Insight Guides) (Paperback)

I purchased this book prior to planning and completing a driving trip thru Texas. I found the book helpful in prioritizing where to go based on what my family would like to see and do. Everything in San Antonio, Sonora and Big Bend National Park was right on the money! I also appreciate the photos that embellish the well written text. The $16 I spent on this book was returned in time and money and represented a real value when the typical total day's cost on a vacation easily exceeds $200. I do recommend this book for any Texas trip.

This review is from: Texas (Insight Guide Texas) (Paperback)

This book has alot of information in it about Texas which is good considering that is the title of the book. If you need a book for those that have never been to Texas and want to know of some places to go and see and want alittle bit of history on the area then this book is what you need. Even those people who are from Texas like myself can benefit from it cause lets face it Texas is a big state and even the people that live in it don't know everything there is to know about the state or where things are located. All around the book was very helpful for not only me but the friend I bought it for. Now she wants to go visit Texas very badly. haha!
