UNBELIEVABLY GOOD DEALS AND GREAT ADVENTURES THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN'T GET UNLESS YOU'RE OVER 50 is by Joan Rattner Heilman (Contemporary Books). This book has been termed the "Bargain Hunter's Bible," and we agree. Joan tells us how to take advantage of every imaginable good deal in the travel industry: from airfares, hotels, rental cars, cruises, trains, buses, tours,skiing, parks, shopping, insurance, and even taxes. She tells how to join organizations which help get the best deals. Especially helpful is the section on how to get help and services in various places around the world. There are ideas for all types of travel, from luxury to economy, all at great savings. And there are many ideas which apply at home also, including ways to volunteer and special interest groups to join. This book is a must for anyone over 50.

I'm planning a trip to London next year and learned some valuable tips even my well-traveled friends didn't know.

If you are going on an extended road trip, this book is a "must have" on your list. Whether you are traveling by auto or RV, staying in campgrounds or motels, eating in or eating out, this book has something for you. It would make a great companion to the ultimate road trip planning book, "Live Your Road Trip Dream".

This book is simply a compilation of "senior discounts" from chains and franchises from around the country. If you didn't already know that AAA and AARP can get you discounts everywhere from Arby's to Zoos then you might find this book useful. For everyone else it's content is easily summed up - ask for a senior discount everywhere! (And they're hardly "unbelievable" - think 10%).

Here's a great way to feel better about getting older. You can save alot of money with the tips in this book. Some you may already know about but there's bound to be many you haven't heard of before. I am a legal aid attorney and owner of an online medical supply and equipment business and would recommend this book to my clients and customers. Of course, with any book like this, information can quickly become outdated so calling first is a good idea.

A nice compilation of deals available to all seniors, most already known if you have asked before buying or planning.
