Cycling the Rhine Route: Bicycle Touring Along the Historic Rhine River

How honest is the preview web page
Of course I think this is a great book - I spent a number of years researching and writing "Cycling the Rhine Route". I had so much information that I had to edit out two-thirds of the original manuscript to fit in with the publisher's requirements and I still had to persuade him to make the book longer than originally planned. So I had to make informed choices about what to leave in and take ...

Alaska's Southeast
We took this book on our recent cruise to Alaska. What a great book to explain about the different ports. I carried this in my backpack and would reference it for places to eat and things to do while in various Alaska cities. This is a good guide to let you read about some places most tourist don't know about. It includes maps of the cities, description of things to do in each town, and some ...
Touring the Western North Carolina Backroads (Touring the Backroads)

A must-have guidebook for visitors, newcomers, and natives
This guidebook, unlike most, is so encyclopedic in scope that I give it as a gift to newcomers to the area. It is also an invaluable reference for the visitor who wants to see more than the fabulous Biltmore Estate. Even though I am a native of the area, I learned nearly everything I know about Western North Carolina from this book alone and it is my primary reference. I am still amazed at how ...
Motorcycle Touring: Everything You Need to Know

Dr Gregory W Frazier
Motorbooks
, 2005
Fun, instructional reading
I simply love this book. It's entertaining, and I learned a lot. His style just lets you read it like a novel, as another reviewer mentioned. I only disagreed with the author on two points having to do with safety: 1) I really like having a GPS with a compass as a necessary back-up to the GPS (although I know people like Dr. Frazier who have an uncanny knack for knowing where they are) ...

Excellent resource
This is a great book. The 3 sections allow riders to learn about adventure travel according to the mood they are in. I used the bike recommendations to buy the Volpe. Great purchase. Warning: this book will encourage you to travel. Wish list: a web site like crazyguyonabike.com so readers can keep abreast of updates. Cheers Lord. Nice job.
Authentic Tuscany (Authentic Italy)

Touring Club of Italy, 2005
Wow!
This may be the best travel guidebook I have ever seen. I've been a fan of the so-called "TCI" books for years; they are very popular among those whose hobby is exploring Italy, because of the tremendous insider's detail and information on the interesting small towns, all written from an Italian tourist's point-of-view. But, this new format is fantastic. The book is divided into color-coded ...

A Classic Reference and Observing Guide
Touring the Universe Through Binoculars remains the single most authoritative source for people who want to view the night sky with binoculars. Sure, there are other books on the subject, but Touring the Universe stands apart for its thorough survey of the binocular sky. This book lists objects that the other books miss entirely (and that the authors probably don't even know exist!). But ...

Essential kayaking book
This is a fabulous book on sea kayaking. I loved reading it because of the very useful information and mix of serious and humorous writing styles. A must read - and you'll want to read it several times to soak up all the great information. Highly recommended for any kayaker. His exploits are impressive and inspiring.

Great Book on the Best Type of Skiing
This is a great book. Not too basic and not too advanced for someone wanting to get into the best way to ski-the earn your turns way. I used to teach alpine touring and ski mountaineering in the army and this would have been a great book to have around as the textbook. We taught all of this and then went in depth on the important items like avalanche safety (avoidance) and rescue. This book ...

Wonderfully Informative
This guide is extremely helpful in planning a trip to Sicily. It is also an excellent source of information for anyone interested in the beautiful island and its culture. Many already popular attractions are covered as well as some lesser known ones. For a traveler seeking to get off the "beaten path" this guide will offer some good ideas on where to find less popular, but equally ...

About Montana & Wyoming Hot Springs.
Truly, it depends on your what you are looking for in the hot springs area. It is great in terms of what you can find in Montana and Wyoming, less what is available at the Yellowstone National Park, which is a bit odd to read. In any case, it has an abundance of detail about what is outside the park both in Montana and Wyoming. If you are looking for something outside of Yellowstone National ...

very helpful book
Just got back from a week long ride (#5) outlined in this book and was very happy with it (copied relevant pages only and took that with us vs. lugging the whole thing along, and color didn't matter as we were seeing it in real life). Really appreciated lots of little helpful hints, tips and directions - we knew if we'd gone too far or missed a turn etc, very detailed descriptions. We took our ...
