This review is from: Put Your Best Foot Forward, USA : A Fearless Guide to Understanding the United States of America (Put Your Best Foot Forward, Book 6) (Put Your Best Food Forward, Book 6) (Paperback)
I've used the best foot books to prepare for my own travels. I bought this one to give to someone from overseas to prepare for a business trip to the US. To me it seems worthwhile if not a bit overly long (one chapter for each state).
Unfortunately Amazon's delivery is delayed almost 3 weeks and this is causing a problem
