5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Hot Spring Guide, July 2, 2001
By Glenn Campbell (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought several guides to hot springs in Nevada & California, and this is clearly the best. Provides a B+W photo for every spring, as well as GPS coordinates, detailed driving instructions, pool temporature and detailed description. This book described several springs that were right under my nose and that were described nowhere else. If you get this guide, you won't need any other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soakers Bible -- HOT SPRINGS & HOT POOLS OF THE SOUTHWEST, April 22, 2001
Each year we spend about four months traveling throughout the west in search of hot springs. HOT POOLS & HOT SPRINGS OF THE SOUTHWEST is our travel guide -- we wouldn't leave home without it. In all the southwestern states, this book has led us to the best soaks in existence. It is, by far, the most accurate and detailed guide available; none can compare with it. As with any printed guide, it can never be completely up to date because conditions do change, but that's a normal part of life. The publisher, Marjorie Gersh-Young welcomes information about changes in use, openings, closings, etc, and will incorporate them into future editions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it!!!, July 28, 2002
By Zwarych 3 "a1lisa" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I absolutely LOVE this book. If you're a hot springs addict (like I am) you'll never leave home without it. It has remote hot springs with excellent directions, she-she spas, photos and honest descriptions. Clothing optional to "Versace only bathing suits required." It's the only book you'll need for hot springs if you travel on the west coast. It's definately the most thorough one I've come across.
