Customer Reviews

Excellent & Interesting5
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!
