I know there are so many places to see in the US and Canada, but this book really didn't do many places justice.
Just to name a couple....according to the book there is nothing to see in Florida north of Tampa. Have you never been to Pensacola? Seen McGuire's Restaurant, the Vietnam Memorial, The Air Museum. How about Flora-bama on the Florida-Alabama line. How about southern Illinois, have you ever been to Garden of the Gods? Shawnee National Forest, stayed at the lockmaster quarters on the Mississippi in Glocanda?
I realize, there are a thousand places to see in each state, but how many people can afford a trip to Charlie Trotter's in Chicago?
Just my opinion....
 Great addition to the original classic July 25, 2007

Like many readers, I had the same reaction to the original "1,000 Places to See Before You Die." I'm not sure I'll ever get to South America or Central Africa and was looking more for interesting things around where I live. For example, in my home state of Iowa, there was only one item in the original book, which was definitely undervaluing the hub of America's heartland.
The new book has a wealth of interesting, unique and special places in the U.S. and Canada that I can now access on my next road-trip.
This is a great read and a good value.

The positive reviews were very misleading. If you have ever used a travel book before, you will be disappointed by the lack of information supplied in this book. San Diego has 2 pages, San Francisco has 7 1/2 pages and Santa Fe has 3 1/2 pages(I guess Santa Fe did better than San Diego) and the Pueblo's of New Mexico have 1 page. I agree that the hotels reviewed were some of the most expensive and there were very few covered.

1,000 places to go before I die? More like 1,000 spas and resorts and resturants. Big deal - the more money you spend, the bigger the wall you create between yourself and the local culture. Who wants to know about exotic resorts and five star restaurants? Don't tell me about the big ticket items! Tell me about quirky offbeat places with personality and charm, things I cant get anywhere else. Tell me about Hole in the Rock, UT. Tell me about The Last Stoplight on I-90. Tell me about a PLACE, not about how to spend money at generic locations.
Worthless.

I just received the best Father's day gift ever. I am recently retired and it has always been my dream to travel through this wonderful country of ours. This book is filled with over 1000 pages of options and alternatives that will help me in planning my dream trip-hopefully many dream trips! Great book.
