Worthless.......2002-11-24

I bought this book after enjoying the excellent Guide to Texas and the Middle South from the same series. Unfortunately, the guides are all by different authors, and vary widely in the quality of their content. I've bought four of them so far, and this one is the worst of the bunch.

The Texas book is a "Blue Highways" (i.e., off the beaten track) guide, and contains descriptions of fascinating places that you're not likely to find anywhere else. This one, on the other hand, is no better than those free tourist guides that you find on racks in pancake houses and cheap hotels.

Book Description

Each of the National Geographic Driving Guides to America has been thoroughly updated and beautifully redesigned and includes a detailed regional map, individual maps keyed to specific sites and destinations, anecdotes and local history, information on drive times, mileage and road conditions, and full-color photographs. In addition, each guide features 20 complete driving itineraries, selected and driven by a National Geographic regional travel writer, that showcase the best each region has to offer.

Whether a quick weekend trip or a longer journey, road travelers will discover all the beauty of America's diverse regions—from California's spectacular Highway 1 to the shores of Cape Cod to Utah's breathtaking Cedar Breaks National Monument—and rely on the renowned expertise and ease-of-use of National Geographic Driving Guides to America to take them there.

Guide to National Parks, Pacific Region and Southwest Region.......2000-07-30

I found the guide to be "to the point" informative without overburdening the reader with useless commentary. The clear and precise photos are well chosen to show samples of what to expect in each park. The "National Geographic" maps are simple and easy to read showing park highlights along with well-defined topography, but again, without overburdening the reader with too much detail. These guides are especially good for travel planning when time is of the utmost and there is only a short window with which to enjoy the park(s).

hawaii.......1999-12-26

nudism in hawaii may not be so called "legal", but a lot of people do and just find there own private or group area of like minded people and ignore the rest. tourists who happen upon one of these areas usually just walk on by and will let you be, or they sometimes will ask questions respectfully and leave(which my wife and female friend found out to be true on our last visit to the kona coast)

There are no legal Nude Beaches in Hawaii.......1999-07-17

Since nude sunbathing is illegal in Hawaii, this book is a work of fiction.

Recommended by Dr. Leisure! Very fine black and white photos.......1997-10-16

Another popular regional guide to nude beaches recommended by Dr. Leisure is Dave Patricks' California's Nude Beaches. A hundred and fifty pages of good information and some very fine black and white photography of nude beach inhabitants. Dave even has a section called Naturist Photography in the '90s. It is obvious from the photographs that Dave knows what he is talking about. Highly recommended by the number one source of information on nude recreation on the net. DrLeisure.com.

Seashells are the most exquisite of all architecture.......1996-11-30

As a child growing up on the eastern seaboard of the U.S., and obsessed with seashells, the gastropods of the Pacific Ocean beckoned to me more strongly than any seaweed bedecked sirens in my 8th grade Latin book.

And this was the book that fueled by imaginations. The heck with Botticelli and his "Venus on a half-shell" or Cyndy Crawford's teeth -- this book illustrates and explains some of the most beautiful pieces of calcium carbonate ever secreted by man or mollusc.
