From touring a fortune cook factory to stunning hiking trails to luxurious spas, there is something for everyone. One of the most unique features of this book is the hear section; this is generally not a focus of travel books but should be. This is the perfect handbook for a day trip, a weekend getaway, or a week-long vacation! --Deborah Lloyd, Readers' Favorite Did you know there was a computer history museum in California? Well, I suppose it would make sense since it is the epicenter of computer technology and home to Silicon Valley. And there are some original gold mines to explore. Wouldn't it be cool to actually find a nugget or two? Or, how about a guided tour of the infamous prison of Alcatraz? Would you be able to escape if locked inside? I don't think I'd want to chance it. There are so many interesting things to see, do, and, yes, taste, in California, both north and south. --Emily-Jane Hills Orford, Readers' Favorite Kvaala has crafted a fantastic guidebook packed with plenty of insider knowledge, tips, and tricks to offer readers. One of the features which I found particularly impressive about this piece was its desire to go off the beaten track and not just list the typical things about California that we all know and expect to find. I particularly enjoyed the commentary on the music scene, from country venues to jazz clubs, which is so much more diverse than at first glance, and the unique narrative style makes everything sound so exciting and enticing. --K.C.
