Undiscovered America
The ideal vacation planner for people who've "been there, done that," this upbeat guide profiles a wealth of fascinating destinations, some of which may be well known regionally but virtually unknown nationally.

These include an obscure but grand vacation island on the Great Lakes; California's best wine country (not Napa Valley!); a little-known Nevada town oozing with "cowboy cool"; and the world's oldest Shakespeare festival, which is not in England but in Oregon...Undiscovered America: 250 Great Places You Might Have Missed

The Great American Road Trip
"I saw this for weeks at Barnes And Noble giving it cursory glances before deciding to buy it. By the time I did decide to buy it, the book was hard to find (B&N said is was "out of print/stock"). But I somehow did sniff one out with a sixth sense, almost as if I'd used a divining rod to find water in a desert of the B&N Superstore. The book is not meant to be Shakespeare and makes for a fun, informative read. Like the title here states the book provides a great roadtrip from the confines of a comfy chair. It's also a great companion at your favorite diner (roadtrips and diners go hand in hand, eh?). All the Americana and kitsch you could want is here for about $10. The pages contain a quick vacation in your mind when time or finances do not allow. Recommended!.." Customer review

Collectors gathered items for their educational as well as shock value. The result was haphazard, sensational displays featuring everything from art treasures to such exotic knickknacks as shrunken heads and dried kidney stones. Before newspapers and steamships, let alone computer networks and jet travel, this was how the world's marvels became known.Many of these early collections formed the basis for the world's first museums...
