Die has 2.2 million copies in print and has spent 144
weeks and counting on The New York Times bestseller
list.
Now, shipping in time for the tens of millions of travelers
heading out for summer trips, comes 1,000 Places to See
in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die. Sail the Maine
Windjammers out of Camden. Explore the gold-mining trails
in Alaska's Denali wilderness. Collect exotic shells on the
beaches of Captiva. Take a barbecue tour of Kansas City—
from Arthur Bryant's to Gates to B.B.'s Lawnside to Danny
Edward's to LC's to Snead's. There's the ice hotel in
Quebec, the Great Stalacpipe Organ in Virginia, cowboy
poetry readings, what to do in Lexington after the Derby's
over, and for every city, dozens of unexpected suggestions
and essential destinations.
The book is organized by region, and subject-specific
indices in the back sort the book by interest—wilderness,
great dining, best beaches, world-class museums, sports and
adventures, road trips, and more. There's also an index
that breaks out the best destinations for families with
children. Following each entry is the nuts and bolts:
addresses, websites, phone numbers, costs, best times to
visit.
