Title: good description of some nice roads
Review: We wanted to use this guide to make our RV trip a bit more interesting and find great routes aside from the typical freeways. We only traveled in Florida, Alabama and Tennessee with this guide. Some routes are not ideal to travel with an RV due to a lot of local traffic and stoplights. We also found some really nice roads that were not listed. One that was particular nice got us somewhere from north of Ocala Florida towards the panhandle. This road was unlisted but had beautiful flowering trees lined for miles on end. Next time I will pay more attention to name and location. I was surprised to have that not listed. So it seems there are plenty of roads less traveled that should be in the guide. We have some awesome routes for day trips near where I live in Central Florida and they could find a mention. All in all a nice book and I am looking forward hopefully making a few more of the scenic drives in the future.

Title: Travel book
Review: The only negative would be the size. I was hoping for a larger size for these old eyes. But it does work for now.

Title: Great resource
Review: Our family travels a lot and this book is definitely a good one if you travel by car, RV, etc.... True there are some roads that haven't made it into the book but the majority are on it and a good option to see some attractions and points of interest that you may not have heard of before.

Review: This book whetted by appetite for a nine-week road trip through the US mountain and Pacific states. However, some of the chosen routes are very well known and so were busy with other tourists even in September.

Review: If you add in GPS coordinates for the start and finish points of the described roadways, this would be absolutely perfect for me. Well researched, beautifully presented, thank you.
