5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best travel books!, May 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Unofficial Guide to Branson, Missouri (Unofficial Guide to Branson, Missouri, 2nd ed) (Paperback)

This book was extremely helpful for our family trip to Branson. The information is excellent and surprisingly on-the-dot correct. We stayed in this great bed & breakfast that was highly recommended and could not have had a better stay. The information on picking shows and times to attempt driving through town made everything so much easier than we could have imagined. Anyone traveling to Branson should definitely get this book and plan for a wonderful time! You will love it!
