“The American Guide Series is comprised of a guidebook for each state as well as guides to many of the nation’s cities, towns and villages and even some of its major highways. Most impressive are the state guides, treasure troves of information free of Chamber of Commerce chatter.”
“Considering the encyclopedic contents of the books, the work “guide” is really a misnomer.
In addition to information for travelers (a great deal of it juicy Americana), each volume contains a sheaf of essays on such aspects of each state as its culture, archeology, history, industry and commerce, folkways and role in the arts.”
