I saw this book at Barnes and Noble and kicked myself for not buying it... so I logged on and of course amazon had it! This guide will give you so many ideas for things to do in Ohio. A great guide for anyone living in Ohio... we live central... so most of the suggestions are day trips for us... and that is wonderful... I love Ohio... I never realized how much there was out there till I bought this book. Ideas from factories, farms, zoos, and so many... gosh, never thought of going there... ideas! Complete with addresses, numbers and web sites... so you can find out more before you travel. I'm sure we will enjoy this book for years to come! Thanks to the authors! Would make a nice gift for a family also.

This is a great book. I personally know the author, and it took her over 13 years to write it. She interviewed many real cambodian refugees and did a lot of hard work. It is very informative.

It is very easy to use. If you visit Chicago (a city that works) on business or for pleasure as a native or a stranger this is the best guide to stick into your jacket pocket or purse. About the size of a highway map, it uses a combination of weatherproof color city and transit maps with an index of sites, entertainment, night life, accommodations, and seasonal events with a brief description, addresses, telephone numbers, and hours of each. (But, call and check the business hours, many are out of date.) If you want to zip around Chicago go to ... and order for free the Chicago Transit Authority's bus and rail map and other special CTA maps. They show the number and route of each bus, L, and subway. Combined with the friendly help of Chicago residents it's hard to get lost.

This is my second book by this author. The first was wisconsin. Each book has a comprehensive guide to unique places to stay and visit within each state. It's a great book to just keep on the shelf for reference or to plan a vacation.

An enjoyable, fun filled book of clever poetry and information about many places in Michigan. A unique approach and creative in focus. Every person fond of Michigan would enjoy it.

The Mississippi River and Mark Twain are practically synonymous in American culture. Known as "America's river," the popularity of Twain's steamboat and steamboat pilots the on the ever-changing Mississippi has endured prominently over the years.

Samuel Clemens became a licensed river pilot at the age of 24 under the apprenticeship of Horace Bixby, pilot of the Paul Jones. His name, Mark Twain, was derived from the river pilot term describing safe navigating conditions or "mark two fathoms" thus shortened to mark twain by the leadsmen whose job it was to monitor the water's depth and report it to the pilot.

Although Mark Twain used his childhood experiences growing up along the Mississippi in numerous works, nowhere is the river and pilot's life more thoroughly described than in Life on the Mississippi.

Great summer reading, especially if you love biographies. Tells all about the MacMillans starting in Scotland and up to the present. Another family like the Rockefellers or Kennedys but started much earlier and still going strong. Today one of the wealthiest families in the world. Most people have never heard of them.
