 Indispensable, though a bit chunky! September 18, 2008
I bought this from Amazon several years ago, and it was completely invaluable for my lengthy trip around the States. From Miami to Seattle and around again, this guide book provides the exact information you need - good places to stay, eat, explore, get drunk, with helpful maps accompanying it all. My copy is battered and torn now, but I wouldn't be without it. I even recently opened it to read a concise history of the mid-West, which it provided brilliantly. If you have an interest in the States or are planning a Greyhound oddyssey of your own, buy this book!

I Found the book very easy to use, broken up into logical chapters with lots of very useful insider knowledge.
Planning my trip around America has been made a lot easy with the help of this book. I would definately recommend it.
A magnificent achievement! January 22, 2002

A one-volume guide to all 50 states is a huge undertaking, but this book achieves it. It is expertly detailed, humourously written and an absolute pleasure to use. If it has any weakness at all, it is perhaps the dull, small-scale maps, for example of Texas, and the lack of detail on rail travel across the country. But make no mistake, this one is the very best available. Rivals will be hard-pushed to match it. A great guide!
One of the better guides, but could be better March 4, 1999

Rough Guide USA provides the traveller with just about all he needs - but there are notable omissions. The lack of maps, and useful information such as a good range of approximate fares and times for travel across the USA prevents it from being unbeatable. Still, it is the most comprehensive guide book you can buy.

Whilst up-to-date and informative for the most part, Rough Guide USA fails to include some of the newer hostels springing up around the country. For example, on a recent visit to Tucson, I was lucky enough to stay at the Roadrunner Hostel. This new hostel is to be found just 3 minutes walk away from Greyhound and Amtrak. Rates are only $13 per night, or $70 per week, well worth a visit.I understand how difficult it must be to keep these travel guides up-to-date, so I hope that the experiences of travellers like myself can be of some help. Keep up the good work!! Happy travelling.
