The most comprehensive, funny, witty and intelligent .

This book is not just a travel book, it's a social expose of all that is wrong (and right) with Califonia. These guys go beyond the specifics and get right to the heart of what it is like to try and navigate the wild and wooly world of Califonia, not just the beaches, but the guts of the place, too. Lots of funny boxes that I read aloud to my husband as we were driving made our trip infinitely more enjoyable! Best out there!
Your #2 travel must have, #1 is a map.

After spending 3 weeks driving the coast of California I can honestly say that this book is the most well written and easy to follow guide of all the books out there. Every detail is layed out in a precise, neat, and easy to follow manner. There were many humorous side notes that are worth reading even if your not planning on visiting thoes areas. These two authors (Puterbaugh and Bisbort) have thouroughly researched the area and are in my opinion very qualified to write this book. Their rating system of the beaches were right on, although their people indicator was only marginaly correct. I highly recommend this book. It will be your second best reference right behind your map. John Yoder ([email protected]
