Basically the same layout as an earlier Lonely Planet Guide I'd looked at and with some duplication. But this one is more focused on my area of interest/planning. Loads of routes - some short some long - and includes paces of interest along the way, route details and other information you'd expect from such a publication. Best to get a Kindle copy, I'd say, so that you can utilise the many useful hyperlinks.

We checked this book out from the library to read and peruse before heading South. Had it had enough information we thought would be useful we may have thought about purchasing it. I was highly disappointed in this travel guide. The set up seemed disjointed and had information about several cities we wanted to visit in multiple places in the book. It also had out of date information after claiming it was up-to-date. One restaurant we researched in New Orleans has been closed since October 2018. Returned and will not purchase.

Read / skimmed this. Was ok. Confirmed knowledge that I already had. Did extract some Natchez Trace trip info.
Get again? No, maybe not worth it.
Aurora library.
