A travel series unlike any other, Insight Guides go beyond the sights and into reality. Their incomparable photojournalistic approach captures the uniqueness of each culture they cover: their traditions, their arts, their history, their lives. The stunning photography is married to compelling text, written by local writers; the people most qualified to convey their culture's "secrets".

Yes, Insight Guides will tell you which attractions to visit, but they'll also tell you a whole lot more. From the most popular resort cities to the world's most remote and exotic villages, Insight Guides will give you the insider's perspective you need to truly experience any destination you visit.

Insight Guides serve many purposes. They are ideal for planning a trip. And, they're wonderful souvenirs to treasure for years after. Even the armchair traveler can be swept away by their magnificent content and experience the world from the comfort of home.

Many international and domestic and domestic destinations also offer companion FlexiMaps, an innovative laminated folding map specially designed for the discriminating traveler.

[Melissa Bond · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok, so having been born and raised a Texan, there is nothing to be learned in this book for the average Texan. However, for anyone traveling to this great big state, this is the travel book you need to get (latest edition though), the other needs to be any book highlighting little known places off the beaten path. As for where to stay, and where to eat, do not use this book! It is not comprehensive for lodging and restaurants, so use word of mouth by locals for the best places to eat. The only thing to also warn those coming to this state, drive defensively. Everything is bigger in Texas, including the way we drive and it's not as friendly as you might think.
