| 11. |  | Desert solitaire: A season in the wilderness
from Peregrine Smith
Customer Review:
This is all over the map. It's a hermit's reflections on a world that moves too slowly for the rest of us to see. It's a naturalist's insight into the behavior of animals and people. It's a political extremist's commentary on unchecked development and resource depletion. Best of all, it's a... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 12. | ![]() | The Souls of Black Folk
from Kraus Intl Pubns
Customer Review:
I purchased Souls for an assignment; it arrived quickly and is quite the page turner. At $2.50, this book will be far more valuable to my son (in 10 years or so). I would have preferred hard cover to ensure greater preservation. Its uncanny the similarities with Du Bois and your new president. This... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 13. |  | The Best Things to Do in New York City: 1001 Ideas
from Universe
Price: $12.89
Customer Review:
This book has some very interesting information about New York City and all the attractions and experiences one can have during a short or extended visit. However, it is definitely a book to obtain several days or weeks prior to making your journey. Unlike a travel guide book, which tends to be... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

We went on a 2 week road trip across the country and used this book to look up national parks in the areas we were traveling to. It was fantastic!

from Santa Monica Press
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
I ordered this book in a fit of enthusiasm after my first return visit to Disneyland as an adult (the enthusiasm persists, incidentally.) I was looking for something to fill me in on the history of the Magic Kingdom and satisfy grown-up curiosity about things I didn't think all that much about when... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 16. |  | Blue Highways: A Journey into America
from Pimlico
Customer Review:
I like both travel books and memoirs, well-written ones at least. Furthermore, I love long-distance driving (I find it therapeutic), and for years I have fantasized about taking an extended road trip around the United States. Thus, I am predisposed to liking BLUE HIGHWAYS. Alas, actually reading it... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from The Intrepid Traveler
Price: $9.56
Customer Review:
The Hidden Mickeys book helped make waiting in lines and navigating crowded attractions fun because it added another level of mission to the adventure: my kids were on the lookout for ones listed in here and would consult with it periodically to see if they found one they didn't see first in the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Mandarin
Customer Review:
Travels with Charley is one of my favorite books and one of the few that I have read over and over again. I want here to especially recommend the Gary Sinise reading of the book for Classics on Cassette. Sinise has played and directed in productions of other Steinbeck works, and he reads the book in... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Purchased this book as a gift for my husband who enjoys traveling the back roads. While thumbing through the book, we noticed an error on page 166 in an article regarding the Lewis and Clark expedition.
