Editorial Review:
The heightened stress of traveling by air these days has encouraged more and more families to pack up the minivan and hit the road. Ramble along America's highways and byways with ROAD TRIP AMERICA, a tour of our nation's long-loved roadside attractions and oddities. Featuring the coolest and weirdest destinations of yesterday and today—like the Boll Weevil Monument in Enterprise, Alabama; Carhenge (a Stonehenge made of cars) in Alliance, Nebraska; and the world's largest teapot in Chester, West Virginia—this handy guide provides cover-to-cover entertainment for both armchair and on-the-road travelers. With classic photographs, postcards, pennants, matchbook covers, and other cheap souvenirs, this state-by-state travel destination book helps you relive your travels of yesterday and plan your trips of tomorrow.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Neither helpful, nor informative
I was hoping to use the book to research a road trip. Its not more informative than a generic tourism department leaflet. There's not one map or address in here. One trip to roadfood or roadside america would give more information than this. What a letdown.
Rating:  - Find the roadtrip any where you go
History buffs and pop culture fans will love this nostalgic look at the fascinating monuments, restaurants and other fun and quirky sites found in the United States.

Rating: - Disappointed
I wish I had read some of the reviews of this book before making my purchase. I would have passed on it. I was hoping for something a little more detailed, more definitive. Instead I see a smattering of questionable entries on locations that were easily accessed on his itinerary, whether they were the best the state has to offer or not. As many would, I first looked at a state I know well (Kansas), to see Wood's recommendations. Gulp - he was way off! If P.J. Dinsmoore's "Garden of Eden" in Lucas is not even ... Read More
