 extremely outdadted, never-updated info October 10, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I live in Houston and bought this for info on the Hill Country. I can live with most of the entries being uselessly brief. I can life with his hotel recommendations in the Hill Country that consist of standard chain motels that I probably am intelligent enough to find without buying a guidebook But even though this is a 2004 edition, I found lots of info for both Houston and the Hill Country that is ten and sometimes 15 years out of date. Much of the Houston restaurant section is unchanged from the earlier edition, and includes restaurants that have not existed for at least 10-15 years. This also applies to some of the hotel and 'sights' listings. In the San Marcos section the book talks about the amusement park/show/hotel on Spring Lake; this was taken over by the university in the late 1990s (ten years ago!) at which time all of that info (retained here in the 2004 edition) became useless. The restaurants listed for San Marcos mostly have been out of business for years, and even his listing of cheap chain motels -- the only lodgings included -- are out of date by a decade.
The information on Big Bend is excellent. It's useless, waste of money, for everything else.

We found this very useful on our trip, finding great spots to visit that we may not have otherwise found.

I used this book extensively during the three years I lived in Texas. I liked its mix of history and practical where, when, and how information.
Organized regionally around the major cities, the Texas Handbook also includes numerous towns and sights of interest in the surrounding vicinity and places between. It does a remarkably good job of covering such a large state.
Hopefully a new addition is in the works. Because it was published in 1998, most prices will be out-of-date, but it's so easy to now get hours & admission via web sites, that it's not that big of a problem once you've used the handbook to identify all the interesting places you want to visit.
