Reviews for Best Coast: A Road Trip Atlas: Illustrated Adventures along the West Coast's Historic Highways

Praise for The Best Coast Not just an indispensable guide to the West Coast, this is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind love letter to some of my favorite places in the world. --Geraldine DeRuiter, founder of Everywhereist.com The Best Coast, Chandler O'Leary's illustrated road trip atlas spanning San Diego, Calif., and Washington State, taps into a desire among vacationers to see America as it was before chain restaurants and frequent-flyer mileage homogenized and shrunk the landscape. --Publishers Weekly All the beauty of a west coast road trip, condensed in a beautiful, yet practical book. The Best Coast: A Road Trip Atlas is perfect for those new to the West, and a wonderful supplement for the natives who haven't quite been everywhere yet. Handy tips, stunning locations and a number of side trips just in case you decide to do some wandering. --Powells.com This quirky, playful book is an illustrated road trip atlas, or a 'curated starter kit for your own West Coast adventure, ' according to the book's introduction. The Best Coast includes over 400 watercolor illustrations and 99 maps, all created by O'Leary and inspired by her personal travel experiences. For those intimidated by the uncertainty of travel, O'Leary also includes travel tips, packing lists and city guides for West-Coast adventures through the California-Oregon-Washington corridor. --Weekly Volcano Praise for Chandler O'Leary and DrawnTheRoadAgain.com: Nobody is clear on the exact ratio of picture-to-words worthiness--some estimates have it as high as 1:1000--but it's hard to argue that your average travel writer could capture the essence of a place as well as Chandler O'Leary does with her . . . watercolor artwork. --Fast Company O'Leary has a unique perspective on the sense of discovery in the journey as well as the destination. --Atlas Obscura
