 Disappointing January 1, 2001
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Usually, I regard the lonely planet series as one of the best traveling guides. This book fails to stand the same standard that other books from this series established. Nature has a very brief description, and the cities part does not give a very clear picture of what is worthy and what doesn't. I found the Moon series book on texas much better.
 Don't go to the Lone Star State without your LP August 16, 2000

LP Texas provided tons of information about Texas, that cater to a variety of interests in the many different parts of this large state: Texas facts & history, music, cuisine, culture, West Texas cowboy country to the coast, both urban and rural. Hostel and camp ground information kept me surviving. Bottom line: Don't leave home with out you're LP. Use most other "travel guides" to start a campfire.
A Necessity for Visitors to the Lone Star State June 24, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Lonely Planet's Texas does an admirable job of covering the Lone Star State. The book is well balanced, and its entries are complete, yet concise. The painstakingly researched "Facts about Texas" section makes an excellent introduction to Texas traditions, as its Food and Arts subsections explain the state's culinary and cultural offerings well. LP Texas breaks the state down into nine distinct geographic regions, which makes trip planning much easier given the Texas' long driving distances. All major towns and tourist destinations boast entries, and their respective attraction, accommodation and food listings are ample. One of the book's greatest selling points is the local slant the authors have applied to the regional sections and the individual town and attraction entries. The guide's only drawback is the writing in some parts, where the author's tone is at times preachy and at others downright condescending. On the whole LP Texas makes an essential companion for anyone visiting the state.
