The Knot Guide to Destination Weddings

5 reviews
Carley Roney, Joann Gregoli

Clarkson Potter, 2007

Fantastic Book!!!
This book is GREAT! It gave me a ton of great ideas and advice on how to plan a successful destination wedding. I've received a lot of positive feedback from my invited guests on every bit of advice I implemented. Things like adding some local currency in the save-the-dates and presenting the wedding as a organized and professional dream vacation have helped more guests commit to attending. ...

Zephyr Press, 2005

Must have! Wish I'd had it years ago!
We're a homeschooling family, and have started using this book in our co-op. It's so amazing to watch the idea of "team" unfold as we go along. This book is fantastic, so well organized and well written, and full of so many different ideas, you're bound to find something unique that works for every personality. We've participated in Oddessey of the Mind in the past, and I think this book should ...

The Stars My Destination

221 reviews
Alfred Bester

Vintage, 1996

firey vengence sparks adventure and self-improvement
Considering its 50+ age, it's a solid piece of SF. Sometimes heralded as the grandfather of cyberpunk (as many books tend to be labled), it's a interestingly techy novel. Lots of ideas thrown into a tub full of characters on a one-way plot to a fine blend. What starts out as a sub-average joe works his way through suffering and up to revenge. He transforms himself, through his inferno-like ...

Stylish Sheds and Elegant Hideaways: Big Ideas for Small Backyard Destinations

Debra Prinzing

Clarkson Potter, 2008

Modern Garden Inspiration
I'm one of the lucky shed owners in this book Stylish Sheds and Elegant Hideaways. And I'm a lover of modern design. When looking through books and magazines I'm always flipping quickly trying to find the "good stuff". Debra Prinzing found the good stuff for her latest book. This book has several contemporary designs, but I found the other sheds just as beautiful and interesting. I guess ...

Get it DONE and get on with your life
With so many dissertation guides available, it's tough to know which one to pick. The unique value of Destination Dissertation lies in its suggestions for overcoming real-world road blocks in the journey. Foss and Waters provide concrete tips and actual examples for dealing with common problems like an out-of-control lit review, making sense of mounds of data, negotiating with advisors and ...

James Kaiser

Destination Press, 2005

This is a beautiful book
I have many travel guides to beautiful places around the United States, but this book is the best I have seen. The photos are stunning, and there is just the right amount of information for a first time traveler to the area. I am really happy that I chose this as my guide to Acadia.

Novel Destinations: Literary Landmarks From Jane Austen's Bath to Ernest Hemingway's Key West

6 reviews
Shannon Mckenna Schmidt, Joni Rendon

National Geographic, 2008

As much for the armchair traveler as the author-obsessed
For real book fanatics, great novels are only the beginning. Closing the pages of a beloved Jane Austen or Charles Dickens or James Patterson for the umpteenth time is a cue to pack suitcases and head out to visit the sacred places where Austen, Dickens or Patterson --- well, maybe not Patterson --- created their masterpieces. Publishers know this, and so there are endless "world of" books: ...

Fifty Places to Go Birding Before You Die: Birding Experts Share The World's Greatest Destinations

2 reviews
Chris Santella

Stewart, Tabori and Chang, 2007

Surprisingly worthwhile (with some caveats)
I must admit that I was initially skeptical of this book. The author admits that he is not a birder, and there are inherent issues with these sort of lists. Even though the author is not an avid birder himself, he is not a complete stranger to the hobby. He was aware that he was not qualified to select the sites himself, so he solicited input from birders and ornithologists. Many of these are ...

Grand Canyon, The Complete Guide: Grand Canyon National Park

The Grand Canyon is universally acclaimed as one of the great natural wonders of the world.

A complete and 'user friendly' travel guide and planner for visiting the Grand ...

Destination Weddings For Dummies (For Dummies (Travel))

6 reviews
Susan Breslow Sardone

For Dummies, 2007

The only book on the subject you really need
I'm kind of obsessive, so I bought The Knot destination wedding book and the Destination Bride book too. They're both good, but this is probably the only one you need if you're just buying one. The Knot book has lots of nice pictures of other people's weddings which can give you decorating ideas, but not much practical info. Destination bride is good b/c it's by a real wedding planner. What ...

Secret Hotels: Extraordinary Values in the World's Most Stunning Destinations

Erik Torkells, Editors of Budget Travel

Stewart, Tabori and Chang, 2007

Beautiful places, bargain prices: go fast, before the others find out
You can't get a room during peak season at a resort for $1,500 a night --- the rich took them all long ago. So what can you get for less than $250 a night? You'd be surprised. The editors of Budget Travel challenged themselves to find resort hotels "that don't show up on big online booking engines or get written about in fussy travel magazines." They discovered an interesting, ...

The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon

Dan Eldon

Chronicle Books, 1997

Truly Profound
I bought this book upon it's release in 1997. I can remember allowing the contents of this memoir to captivate me for hours on end. I lent my copy to a friend shortly thereafter and subsequently forgot about it. I recently ordered a replacement and I must say, this book is even more compelling than I ever remembered. Dan Eldon was a profound visionary, an articulate statesman and a devoted ...

Chronicle Books, 2000

The best Travel Journal
My daughter received this as a gift a couple years ago as going away present on her first trip to Europe. She is now on her 2nd trip and I decided to pull her journal and buy a new one for this trip. Two of her friends were going to join her, so we started researching how to purchase another journal. Turns out that none of the travel journals we found compared to the manner in which this is ...

The World's Cheapest Destinations: 21 Countries Where Your Money Is Worth a Fortune, Second Edition

12 reviews
Tim Leffel

Booklocker.com, Inc., 2006

Great starting point!!
This is a great book for putting together a cheap, fun, and exciting vacation to a far away place! It gives you the basic details about each country so that you can figure out if the country is right for you. This is NOT a comprehensive guide. It does not go into too much detail but it gives you a feeling for what you can expect when traveling to the different places. I have already shared ...

Countryman, 2006

Best guidebook for Playa del Carmen out there!!!!!!!!!!
Joshua Hinsdale has written what I feel to be the best guidebook for the area. I do not think that he has missed a detail and I knew so much before I went to Playa del Carmen that I was able to have the best vacation possible.

Disappearing Destinations: 37 Places in Peril and What Can Be Done to Help Save Them (Vintage Departures ...
Kimberly Lisagor, Heather Hansen

Vintage, 2008

A beautiful and memorable look at some of the most gorgeous endangered places on the planet. Machu Picchu is a mesmerizing, ancient Incan city tucked away in the mountains of Peru, but it is rapidly being worn down by the thousands of feet treading across its stones. Glacier National Park is a destination long known for the stunning beauty of its ice floes, but in our lifetimes it will have no glaciers due to global warming. In the biobays of ...
