5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Help!, July 27, 2009

By	Luvs2Read - See all my reviews

I love twilight and when I saw this book I just had to have it! It is very interesting to see that Forks is a real place as well as how many different places all around the Northwest were used for filming. This book, and perhaps even more importantly the web site that accompanies it ([...]), were and invaluable help in planning our trip! We emailed with several questions and they were happy to share what they knew. Anytime I had a question or didnt understand the information contained in the book they were happy to give me more information.
I loved the fact that the book is written to help people who are movie fans, book fans, or like us BOTH!
The book is filled with great locations but it has even more to give. This book also contain places like, 98331 Gear, Lappell's, and Jilly's. These businesses ended up being some of the biggest DON'T MISS places we visited. I wont spoil it for you, but when you buy the book (and then go there) you will find that these "extra" places are as worth it as the places you knew you wanted to see in the first place.
Lastly I have to say again how helpful the people were. If you have any questions planning your trip or before you purchase this book I would strongly recommend contacting them! Just the friendly customer service and all the information they have is worth the cost of this book. Even before I bought the book they were helping me and answering my questions. That says a lot to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Resource, July 27, 2009

By	Karl Johnson "Twilight Fan" (Washington) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this book for a youth group that was going to head up to Forks to see the area. I don't know what the other reviewers were thinking, true it's not a large book but it full of information about the site locations used in the movie. I found the illustrations to be wonderful. In an age where everyone can google map or google earth most everywhere, the hand drawn maps show a personal touch.

The book does exactly what it says it does. It details locations including a variety of shops that can enhance your Twilight Tour experience. The souvenir stamps can make this a true fans collectors item. It's just too bad that more of the businesses did not choose to participate in the stamp program.

The Alice Look a Like who is willing to take time to talk to you and allowed us to take a picture with her made the whole experience even more special for everyone involved. We are not planning a trip to some of the Oregon sites.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, August 4, 2009

By	Liz Olmstead (Santa Clarita, CA) - See all my reviews

I had many people send me word docs with a listing of all the addresses for the book/film locations as we were planning our trip. I was informed about this book a month before my trip and I was so excited, I ordered it. It is a small book, but there is a lot of information included. The book is seperated into the book locations and then the filiming locations. There was helpful information about shopping in Forks, which was greatly appreciated. This was the only source that provided information on the location of the Cullen house from the movie.

The addresses were helpful and used them for our GPS. The handdrawn maps were very helpful because the locations can get a bit tricky to find.

We showed the book at the locations we stopped and all the owners were willing to stamp our book and make it more personal. The pictures also helped us know exactly what spot represented the scenes in the movie.

I would recommend this book to anyone planning a trip to Washington or Oregon for a Twilight Tour. This book definetly made our trip more enjoyable. It was easier to carry this book than several printed pages.
