This book was very helpful in deciding which spas to to visit. Great description of services offered, lodging, and an approximate price range. This book was great, and I am local to an area where most of the spas are from. Her reviews of the spas themselves was great. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to go visit some wonderful and relaxful spas.

Since the age of 12 I have collected the Cherry Ames series..and now at 57, I have finally completed my collection...I have the first edition copies of all but this book...from the 60's....this completes the set. I had read this book as a young teenager but it was a borrowed book..I now have my own...I loved the entire experience of living Cherry's life as a nurse..her adventures and her love for Lex...lol...I always wanted to be a nurse and this was part of that dream. I am in fact a nurse, and have been for over 37 years..loving it...not quite the variety that Cherry seemed to have experienced..in fact, it seems she had difficulty keeping a job!...Love the series and encourage anyone with a young budding nurse to get her started reading these books.
I have purchased 4 books recently from Amazon and the service is fabulous and the prices the same. I will continue to browse the site and make my purchases through this convenient, excellent site.

a great resource for finding the get away that see once in a blue moon and wonder how you could ever find such a gem in the mountains

If you are a traveler who enjoys accomodations that aren't "cookie cutter"........then this guide is for you. The hotels and inns featured are unique and wonderful. Conde Nast again offers the best for travelers.

No, I did not purchase this because my last name is Johansen. This is just THE book if you are looking for THE best, most unique, boutique type loding in the USA.

This book goes far beyond standard travel guidebooks. It provides subjective, yet accurate, ratings of condos in key island vacation spots. I have used the ratings to plan my condo vacations and have found the info to be very accurate. Hoever, it is getting dated. I anxiously await the next edition

I was looking for a history of the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells, but this book has that and SO much more. It is well written, the author certainly knows his subject. The book kept me rapt from the first page to the last. I finished it in a night, and am now going back and re-reading the parts that interested me the most. This author has a good style, easy to read.

Crested Butte: From Coal Camp To Ski Town by western historian and author Duane A. Smith is the historical documentation of the history of Crested Butte, Colorado and how the great community came to be. Readers will discover the fascinating and multifaceted story of Crested Butte which originally attracted coal miners, along with many great details of that history, as well as all of the dangers the area's business encountered. Crested Butte is highly recommended to all students of history, specifically those who enjoy the study of historical Colorado. Other very highly recommended works by Duane Smith and published by Western Reflections are A Brief History of Silverton, A Quick History of the Durango and Silverton Railroad, and a Visit with the Tomboy Bride.

From the dust cover of this beautiful book to the last pages, readers are treated to beautiful photography, copies of lovely paintings, and a narrative about the history of this unique place on the CA coast. The book is divided into time frames starting in 1917 and continuing to 2001. Each segment gives the reader a glimpse into the recent past, of simplier times and the quest for life on the CA seashore. This book is very readable, a feast for the eyes and one that will join my permanent collection of very special books. Suitable for display as a prized coffee table book.
