This book is the best source I've found for camping and outdoor recreation. The maps are extremely detailed. I highly recommend it!

I am a traveling Nurse. Every time I get to a new state, I purchase the Atlas and Gazeteer for that state. As a hiker, camper, kayaker, and lover of the outdoors, this reference book is indispensable!

This book looks and feels good, no smell of smoke and no other odors. The price was more than fair.

The scale of the current Washington DeLorme atlas is too large and the maps in it are unsuitable for detailed recreation planning (in my case mountain biking). The scale is 1:160,000. There simply isn't enough fine detail. DeLorme needs to lower the scale by a factor of two or three.

These comments refer to the ninth edition (2008). DeLorme revises these maps periodically so if you're reading this review years later check to see if they've fixed the problem before deciding not to buy it.

This is a great tool for those who travel the nation's interstates. We like to travel, towing a 5th wheel camping trailer. Using the Next Exit is a snap to find a grocery store, restaurant, fuel stop, relaxing park or even a chiropractor. This is a comprehensive guide listing everything off an interstate exit. Nothing is worse than guessing. It's a waste of time and gas pulling off the wrong exit. We've all done that far too often, creating unwanted stress. The Next Exit will pay for itself quickly and make your trip more enjoyable. This book is an asset for any traveler.
