Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Of the plethora of adjectives suitable for the tone of this witty reference book, the most relevant is proud; from the outset, Schultz declares her own personal connection to the places visited, titling the introduction, "Rediscovering My Own Backyard." Divided by region-starting off in New England, the Mid-Atlantic states, the Southeast and the rest of the U.S., then continues into eastern and western Canada-Schultz's follow-up to the bestselling 1,000 Places to See Before You Die (a global survey) presents grandiose portraits of the two countries' most popular and patriotic spots. Schultz includes plenty of directions for travel, food and lodging, including costs, though this is no budget guide (see the $75 dinner under the Brooklyn Bridge). Still, what Schultz lacks in cost-efficiency she makes up for in scope; quite literally, there's something here for everyone: baseball fields, national parks and campgrounds, major malls, expansive historical estates and more. A fine gift, it should also spark spirited party conversation-who's been where, what to visit next, and which personal favorites didn't make the cut.

Ideas for "where to go next?"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 16, 2010

Verified Purchase

We'd "Been there, seen that," so Patricia Schultz's 1,000 PLACES TO SEE IN THE U.S.A. & CANADA BEFORE YOU DIE has sparked a renewed "travel bug." The book consists of short summary reviews of many interesting places; some are destinations and some are simply a stopping place along the way to your next big adventure. Geographic/natural sites as well as interesting places in an area are included. The basic geographical organization of the book is good, but with the sections I found sorting through the listings by the aurhot's title of the selection annoying (i.e. California begins with "Berkeley & Chez Panisse" in the northern part of the state, follwed with "Beverly Hills" in the southern part, the next two are, again, back in the north etc). I would have prefered all listings within a given area to be clustered together. Ms. Schultz does a good job including sites that appeal to diverse interests and ages; spas, golf courses, downtown areas, places of cultural and historical interest and some of the significant festivals or events. "Gentles, perchance you wonder at this show..." begins the Oregon Shakespeare Festival article; her writing is consistently reflective and interesting. It's not just another travel book of facts - you'll still need those, but enjoy this first.

Great Book for Travelers!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 13, 2007

Verified Purchase

I just got this book and I love it. I always had wanted the 1000 Places to See Before You Die (world edition) but decided against it b/c I felt that I would never have the opportunity to use the majority of the book.

When the US & Canada Edition came out, I was so excited. There are so many places you can enjoy in your home state or drive a couple of hours and see many places you never even heard of!! The book has major landmarks and well as less known sites ....in addition, it also has restaurants, hotels, shops, golf courses. I would definitely recommend this book for people of all ages...I am in my early 20s and can't wait to see some of these places throughout the US and Canada. It is a great gift...if you don't know what to get someone. Even if you can't travel frequently...it's a great source to read and learn more about our country.

In addition, I used the Amazon standard shipping!! I couldn't believe how fast I got the book....I ordered it Tuesday afternoon and it was already here by Thursday morning!!

If you like to travel as much as I do, this book has to be on your list of top references. A well organized manual that will get your travel juices flowing.You can use it to select your next destination, or, as in my case, pick out an area of the country you have never visited and use 1,000 Places to plan your itinerary.

A word of caution--be open to other ideas. For example,in checking out my home state of South Carolina I felt the book focused to much on the coastal area and neglected some other great destinations such as Greenville and the trails and parks up in the Northwest corner of the state. That said, you still can't go wrong with this essential travel reference tool.

Good Overall Travel Reference

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

The book arrived in the condition described, and was shipped promptly. 1000 Places to Visit in the US and Canada Before You Die includes the obvious national parks and the like, but also includes lesser known places. I bought the book to have a reference to places that I would likely miss, and have not been disappointed. It's a good starting point for longer stays in an area. The Lonely Planet and the Moon series are more complete, and the Oddball series will take you to strange sites that you wouldn't find in this guide, but for short trips or drives through an area, this guide works nicely. I've already added several places to visit on our next drive north, thanks to the sites described in this book, places I was not aware of even after making the drive for 25 years. 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die

1000 Places To See

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 2, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is my second copy of this book as it seemed like everyone that saw it was to thumb through the pages. Thus the pages begin to get shop worn even though tihis was an almost new book. I purchased another copy for just me this time and left the older copy out for everyone that wanted to read could do so. There are many interesting places to viist a great number that I did not know about and I consider my selfself a world traveler. It's the local "stuff" in the 50 sattes that I seemed to have missed. You can't go wrong with this book and it's companion book on 1000 places in the United States and Canada.This book will not easily go out of date and part of the fun is planning a trip that will take in several of the recommendations on a single trip.

For the Hard to Buy For Person or Adventurer

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 13, 2012

Really interesting book. Gives you so many ideas of where to go, what to do. If the person is hard to figure out what to buy for, this is a great present. They are presented with a book that let's them explore their own curiosity whether they actually go to the places or not. Can take you on a mental trip just imagining where you'd be willing to go and where you'd have to be dragged to. For the fun loving type, this is perfect too - offers many ideas you wouldn't necessarily think of for yourself to go and do. Holds your interest and prompts some to get off the couch and actually GO and DO something. Excellent bathroom reading book too. Fun and imaginative book.

Excellent & Interesting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 18, 2009

Verified Purchase

As a regular visitor to North America (particularly the USA) and an owner of the first `1000 Places To See Before You Die', I bought this with much anticipation, and it didn't disappoint. Those familiar with the global edition will know what to expect - the book is arranged region by region, state by state. All the main attractions of the USA that you would expect to be included are, such as the Grand Canyon, Empire State Building, Mount Rushmore etc. What makes the book worthwhile are the numerous, lesser known attractions, often away from the beaten tourist track, interspersed with pictures every few pages. This is probably because the focus on one continent, in contrast to the global edition, allows for a wider and more thorough range of places to recommend.

This book shouldn't be considered an outright travel companion, as it has little information on accommodation and general travelling advice. It won't replace Lonely Planet or Rough Guides, but if you have space in your luggage, it will make a useful addition to these. And those not able to make space for it, or who don't visit N. America often - it works just as well as a miniature coffee table book!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book is perfect for those who love driving, planning their drive and not missing the most important sights. If you are based in the USA or Canada this is a 5* book, if you are based in the UK, like me, then you are going to have to visit North America many times to get full value. So far, I've managed to see 45 of the main attractions listed and have yet to be disappointed. If you find that you enjoy touring in North America, I would also recommend "Road Trip USA" by Jamie Jensen and "The Most Scenic Drives in America" a Reader's Digest publication which both give good ideas for routes and one or two different ideas. Give yourself lots of time for your tours because distances between attractions can be enormous.
