Well, if those books are for tourists, then Moon's handbooks (along with Lonely Planet's guides) are for TRAVELERS. And Moon's Wyoming Handbook is, as others here have said, one of their best. It's thick, it's juicy, it's meaty, it's expansive, it's ...             Adventures in Nature Mexico16 reviews Avalon Travel Publishing, 1998 Buy It, Read It, See It!

The Rick Steves style of travel is not for everyone (my mother-in-law for example) but by using the advise in this book, most people should have a fabulous European vacation. This book is filled with great advise to ...             Watch It Made in the U.S.A.: A Visitor's Guide to the Best Factory Tours and Company Museums (Watch It Made ...21 reviews Karen Axelrod, Bruce Brumberg Avalon Travel Publishing, 2006 Great guide for planning cross country trip I'm planning to take my two teenagers cross country this summer and this is a GREAT book for finding interesting places to show them. It has excellent maps, clear directions, and well-written descriptions of what you will (and won't) see so I can figure out what sites will best entertain the different family members. I only wish we had time to see more of the places they describe. It even tells ...             Moon Handbooks: Washington (6th Ed.)7 reviews Don Pitcher Avalon Travel Publishing, 1999 Moon Handbooks are amazing The first Moon book that I purchased several years ago was the book on Oregon. We made significant travel arrangements based on the information in that book and we were never disappointed. An upcoming trip to Seattle/San Juans is based on the information in the Washington book. The real beauty is that the book leads you to the most likely area to visit, gives references to hotels, etc., ...             Moon British Columbia (Moon Handbooks)9 reviews Andrew Hempstead Avalon Travel Publishing, 2008 My favourite guidebook for British Columbia I know of no better book to my home province of British Columbia than this Moon guide. On my travels as a semi-retired geologist, I also carry copies of the Lonely Planet and Frommer's book and have reviewed both of them and others at Amazon.com, but Moon Handbooks British Columbia stands alone for its usefulness. The other books have their good points, but this one encapsulates everything one ...             Foghorn Outdoors: California Fishing Sixth Edition: The Complete Guide to More Than 1,200 Fishing Spots in ...9 reviews Tom Stienstra Avalon Travel Publishing, 2001 Tom misses some but I learned a bunch Great book for the average fisherman who didn't grow up in Mt. Shasta, Calif. Tom raves about the fishing in Lake Siskiyou, not realizing that the dam ruined some of the best stream fishing I have ever seen. Of course, that was 30 or so years ago. Still, around that area, and I'm not telling where, there are still native trout in small streams located on the Mt. Eddy side. When I say ...             The Dog Lover's Companion to Philadelphia: The Inside Scoop on Where to Take Your Dog7 reviews Christine Matturro McLaughlin Avalon Travel Publishing, 2005 An Excellent Guide This book is a terrific way to rediscover Philadelphia. I have lived in Philadelphia since 1992 and I learned a lot about my area from reading this book. My parents visited from Pittsburgh with their dogs, read some of the book, and loved its descriptions of our city and surrounding areas. Since I live in Center City I love to page through sections from time to time to discover ways I can get ...             Rick Steves' Best of Europe 2008 (Rick Steves)8 reviews Rick Steves Avalon Travel Publishing, 2007 The only guide you need If Rick Steves has a book for your destination(s), then do yourself a favor - buy it.

The first thing I do when planning a fishing trip with the fellas is open this book and start exploring the hundreds and hundreds of rivers and lakes Tom outlines in ...             Rick Steves' London 2006 (Rick Steves)10 reviews Rick Steves, Gene Openshaw Avalon Travel Publishing, 2005 Great, As Always! I am a big fan of Rick Steve's guidebooks so understand my bias. We used this 2006 version in Dec 2006 to find lodging, a few restaurants and many of the walking tours. All information was still up to date and excellent. However, please note that the 2007 version should come out in Jan 2007 or close to that time and will be even more current. Great tips and easy to read information on days and ...             Rick Steves' Croatia and Slovenia 2007 (Rick Steves)9 reviews Rick Steves, Cameron Hewitt Avalon Travel Publishing, 2007 Totally Trust Rick Steves I used Rick Steve's throughout Germany and Belgium and his tips and recommendations were spot on. We are now planning a trip to Italy and Croatia and I am once again, using his money & time saving tips, and recommendations on where to stay. If you want to be simply a tourist, then Rick Steve's is not for you. If you want to truly experience a culture and have a great time then use his book.             Moon Handbooks: Maine 2 Ed8 reviews Kathleen M.
