5.0 out of 5 stars Only in Iowa, November 7, 2001

By	"taylormailer" (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Iowa Off the Beaten Path: A Guide to Unique Places (Paperback)

I just returned from an 8 day driving tour of the great state of Iowa. I purchased two books for the trip but relied on this one. It was a great resource and a good read besides. Starting from the west heading south then east and finally north, this guide was invaluable book of knowledge that made my road trip an experience to remember. I plan on purchasing the "Off the Beaten Path" version for my own home state and take weekend trips to see if Missouri can rival Iowa in charm and hospitality!

This review is from: Off the Beaten Path Iowa (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book for traveling in Iowa. I am an Iowa resident, and found some very interesting information within the covers of this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone who desires to learn more about the hidden treasures in the heart of the midwest.
