Guide Books: Where to Buy Them? & Napa/Sonoma Special!

BEST GUIDE BOOKS


Some of us still use Guide Books to research out their travel.  Even though there are many to choose from, when I want the down and dirty, I tend to go to D K Eyewitness for their overall information while I'm researching from home. These books are HEAVY but I love the pictures and details.  Once I have an idea of what I want, I carry Michelin or Lonely Planet with me as I travel.




In Los Angeles, my favorite bookstore to browse is The Traveler's Bookcase on West Third Street near Cedar Sinai.
