Lonely Planet Tokyo (City Guide)
1 recommendation
"I purchased two Lonely Planet city guides (Kyoto and Tokyo) for our recent trip to Japan. I really liked the layout and organization of the books. I wish though that there were more "walking guides" like in the Frommer's guidebooks. What was most helpful were the transportation hints that are listed with each sight. While most of the directions assume that you are starting at a central locatio..."

A Woman's Book of Strength: Karen Andes
1 recommendation
"If you are like me-a girl that's rather intimidated by the whole gym experience-this is a must read study book. Karen wonderfully explains and illuminates how to strengthen the body, especially a woman's body. And it doesn't involve trying to sculpt buns of steel or frantically keeping yourself from getting grossly thick with turbo muscle while trying to fit into small pants. It does involve wisdo..."

It has great, 3D illustrations, from multiple angles of different lock types. It explains quite well how locks are picked and what you need to do (and have) to pick one. It's short, to the point, and very we..."

Not for Tourists - Guide to New York City

"This book is insanely useful for anyone - tourist or local. With maps of each neighborhood broken down by essentials, sundries/entertainment and transportation, I use it for everything from finding the nearest Citibank to giving friends directions to my picnic spot in Central Park to figuring out just what the current colors on the Empire State Building mean. I'd love it if the sections dedicat..."

Weird California (Weird)
3 recommendations
"Spanning the breadth of the country, from New York to California, these are travel guides of a sort, but to the kind of places voyagers will never find on their everyday maps. Instead, they’re chock-full of local legends, crazy characters, cursed roads, and bizarre roadside attractions and there are quite a few weird things in California. The 'San Francisco Chronicle' says: “Weird U.S. is delic..."
Snow Sense: A Guide to Evaluating Snow Avalanche Hazard
2 recommendations
"When I am "out of bounds", I normally rely on others as I don't have the necessary tools. I actually read this book just to make sure I knew what to do if/when crisis time happened. If you are going to put yourself out there and "do the deed", take the time to at least read this book if you aren't going to do the training. Avalanche training or at least basic knowledge of how to handle your..."
