Art Evans has made it his mission in life to find the cheapest ways of getting to the best places. In Travel Bargains he offers advice about everything from airlines (get bumped if possible--you could be in for a lot of free goodies) to photography. ("Aim tight. Good photos are specific.") Evans explains how to fly around the world for less than $2,000, earn six frequent flyer miles for every dollar you spend, or get paid to tour the country in a RV. If you love to travel, Travel Bargains can save you a lot of money. The bargains are out there; Art Evans helps you find them.

This review is from: Travel Bargains: How to Pay Less and Travel More (Paperback)

I have the book (sent for reviewing in 1997) and am about to throw it away. For general information it may be 25% ok but for anything else - ELEVEN years later SO MUCH has changed it's content is now totally obsolete. Besides: no area codes for 80% of phones were listed; 60% of listed airline consolidators were in error and others no longer exist. "You can usually save by staying in a motel instead of a hotel" was my tip off of just how little this chap even knew to begin with. Even an update would be hopeless from someone who appears to have compiled most of his info piece-meal at best.
