I just got this book and I was so impressed with the writer's straight-forward style that I felt like an old friend was suggesting the best places to stay in Hawaii. It is honest and detailed and a must-have book for planners who want to make the most of their stay in Paradise.

Grant categorizes the many B&Bs, resorts, inns, condos etc. according different travellers' tastes and needs. Each island has her recommendations for "Best Romantic Hideaways," "Best Resorts for Wordly Elegance," "Best Family Resorts," "Best Resort Values," etc.

Based on her description and pictures we saw on the web, we are confident we have found exactly what we are looking for on the three islands that we want to visit on our honeymoon.

I can't say enough about it! If you are going to Hawaii and you don't want a cookie-cutter-travel-agent-planned vacation, but you still want value for your money, do yourself a favor and buy this book.

I got this book when planning a 20th anniversary trip to the Caribbean with my husband. I hadn't been to the Caribbean before and was overwhelmed by the choices. The book helped me narrow down my choice to two wonderful hotels on Grenada, an island I had never thought of visiting. The book's descriptions are vivid and accurate.

If you're tired of staying at Motel 6 on every trip, this book provides you with some great options throughout the Mid-Atlantic. The author really did his research, and he gives you a really detailed picture of every inn and hotel listed, from the most interesting dishes on the dinner menu to the exotic and/or amusing history behind some of the establishments.

I was skeptical that another book could be different than any other on this same subject, but was I wrong - this is a "must-read" book for any financial professional, accountant, CPA and appraisal expert who conducts online research and looks for in-depth information. Lang and Tudor have outdone themselves. Bravo to a world-class effort! One piece of information in the first chapter alone more than covered the cost of the book.

This book really lives up to it's title! It gives a detailed overview of each site, it also mentions a few things to try out on the site (along with other sites to try) and a few highlights e.g. - kid friendly - Teachers will fid it useful for classroom

It is extremely well displayed, easy to use and enjoy.

As a Fulbrighter and educator teaching management practices in evolving markets, I am constantly on the look out for books I can donate to my colleagues' foreign libraries. This book meets all my criteria for useful and user-friendly. It is an excellent example of American ideals and aspirations. I'm buying my third copy; my own young daughter, a junior in high school, is ready to start the big search for a school. Thank you for this fine work.

This book has great agencies recommendations, managers also, also places where stars stay at while on tour its great.

I had Proffesor McMullin at UMass-Boston and he was incredible. There is probably no human out there with more knowledge of American Urban History. I read this book at the library after taking his course and was blown away. It is an engaging and consise guide to the Governers of the American Territories. We got Scoundrels, Heroes, the Author of Ben Hur, and Brigham Young! BDATG is like 17 great books. The writing style, much like the teaching style of Professor McMullin is exciting and informative. This man is a Great American Historian.
