1.0 out of 5 stars When are the Interstates considered Backroads in Texas?, February 15, 2009

By	Jon Black "I Prefer Demille" (Roanoke, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was VERY dissapointing. When I began noticing that the Interstates are included in many of the routes, I quit looking at it. All of the photos are small and in black and white -- many appear old. The route maps are a joke. I wish I could send it back and get my money refunded. The title is VERY misleading. Jon Black

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Backroads or Unique, August 10, 2006

By	John R. Witt (Kingwood, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A wate of money. This is list main highway routes. A lot less information than what one can find in a AAA Book. No restaurants and no places to stay even listed. Looks like the authoir never visited any of these places. He certainly brings nothning unique to this book.
