This book was extremely helpful for our family trip to Branson. The information is excellent and surprisingly on-the-dot correct. We stayed in this great bed & breakfast that was highly recommended and could not have had a better stay. The information on picking shows and times to attempt driving through town made everything so much easier than we could have imagined. Anyone traveling to Branson should definitely get this book and plan for a wonderful time! You will love it!

First off, let me tell you that the name of the book is The Unofficial (not a Visitor's) Unofficial Guidebook to Paramount's Kings Island. And it is a fantastic book, even better than The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World because:

1. It was endorsed by the park.
2. It has pictures given by the park.
3, It has the official park map.

The unofficial Disney books don't have those 3 things. My wife and I visit Paramount's Kings Island with our 3 kids twice a year and can never seem to do what we want. The park is 364 acres big and has way too many rides and attactions. This book broke everything down for us. It has chapters on lodging, dining in and out of the park, shows, rides and even shopping. Plus there's a history chapter that I found educational.

My wife and I are taking a trip to Kings Island this weekend and while we wait on line with our impatient little ones, we'll read this book. It taught us a lot about Kings Island and even provided logistical tour plans for folks like us and folks without rugrats. My hat goes off to the author! ..., this was a bargain and a great souvenir.

Definitely worth more than the minimal cost of this paperback. A nice collection of stories (vignettes) of past, present, & deceased residents of this growing-in-popularity Indiana capital. A variety of subjects and topics, upbringings and backgrounds, histories; a child learning through trial and error, a young woman coming of age, a life-defining role of one's religion, the changing face of a community...positive as well as negative reflections of a city in demand - and a city that demands much of its occupants.

Kachadurian's full-color photographic tribute to Mackinac Island is destined to become a treasured collector's item. The high quality of these pictures will keep the memory of Mackinac Island alive for those who love the Island and have been forced to say good-bye, for a month, a year or a lifetime. The visual iconography of this classic vacation resort can never be forgotten, and Kachadurian's pictures will excite longing and nostalgia in everyone who sees them.

This book is beautifully written and illustrated. It includes many interesting tidbits about everyday things, such as Kleenx, vitamins, and the Ringling Bros. Circus. I've lived in Wisconsin for most of my life and still learned a lot from this book. It is perfect for a Wisconsin history course, or for a child doing research on Wisconsin for a school project.

The pictures are beautiful watercolor collages that make me homesick. In each picture there is a border with the names of towns in Wisconsin that correspond to the letters (ie W is for Waunakee, Waukesha, Watertown, etc.) and each printed letter is shown with its equivalent in American Sign Language.

This book is a beautiful tribute to Wisconsin!

This is a great book for people who like wholesome foods but don't necessarily have a lot of time. The ingredients used by most of the recipes are those commonly found in most kitchens and the preparation steps are easy to follow. I have used recipes from most of the different sections of the book and have been pleased with all of them. To me the test of a cookbook is if I try three recipes and they don't turn out then I pass on the book to someone else. With this book I pass on the recipes... The zucchini patties and the chocolate zucchini bread are great . My kids make the apple crisp themselves. The recipes are also easy to modify to your own taste. I have even substituted soy products, low fat alternatives and different flours in some of the recipes with good results. Some of the recipes (overnight french toast) can even be put together the night before and cooked the following morning. I have even called some of the B&Bs to ask about a particular recipe. A great addition to your cookbook library.

Not only is this book no doubt written by someone who is knowledgeable about the northeastern Ohio area and its history, but also it is very readable--yet detailed. Gave me numerous ideas on where to go. Very helpful; gave distance and estimated time of each hike, along with map.

West examines relations between Native Americans, Americans, bison and the environment of the Great Plains. His explanation of environmental factors in depletion of the buffalo herds is very valuable in understanding what was happening on the Plains during the middle of the 19th century.

Richard has one of the best eyes for capturing beauty at unexpected times and places. Once you get to know Richards work, you will imediately pick it out of the crowd of the very best!
