A good guide but a step backwards Sep 12, 2009
By Longtime editor Moon Handbook are in general the best of all guidebooks to the states, provinces, and regions of North America. The focus is not on luxurious hotels or gourmet restaurants but upon a wider range of good, reliable, accomodations and eateries. The information on local history, sights, and eccentricities is especially good and the "must see" recommendations in newer editions are nearly always reliable. So why would I rate this title only four stars? To discover that the Sixth Edition of the Texas handbook--the book covering the largest state in the Lower 48--has cut 258 pages from the Fifth Edition is a huge disappointment. I would still recommend this or any other Moon Handbook but it is a step backwards.

Good basic guide Oct 31, 2010
By bk from the states
"bk from the states"
I live in the Dallas area and bought this guide to help me plan small weekend trips within Texas. If you are new to Texas or visiting it is a great guide. All the major cities and attractions are covered very well. Unfortunately if you live in Texas it is a tad disappointing. I have visited (or lived in) Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, San Antonio, Houston, Austin many many times and that is the bulk of this book. If you need help visiting a big city it is great. But if your looking for something a bit more "off the beaten path" it is a let down. The West Texas section was the biggest disappoint to me.

Loved this pithy little guide! Apr 10, 2009

As a mom with a family who loves to travel, I will use this book over and over. Need a weekend getaway suggestion? Visiting Aunt Pearl in East Texas? Wanting some ideas for a girl's trip? This guide has it all. These Moon Guides are a nice mix of history, enlightened comment, and useful information.

Great Book! Apr 02, 2009
By Geoffrey Sanders This is by far the best guide book I have ever encountered about Texas. Well thought out, and none of the generic "insider's tips" that are completely useless. Mr. Rhodes shows a love of all things Texas. Just wonderful.
