"Covering 'every country on the planet that was feasibly accessible
at the time of publication,' this ravishing and sometimes
hair-raising bucket list for the bucket seat was assembled by ace
roadtripping writers and edited by the 'motoring journalist' Darryl
Sleath. Don't mistake it for a mere coffee-table book: Although its
lavish photographs invite armchair daydreams, this tome doubles as
a reference work."
—THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
"Although the volume covers scenic, historic and cultural journeys
across the world, it includes an abundance of treks here at
home"
—USA TODAY

journey in On the Road to Thelma and Louise's wild
ride."

200 choices in the United States; 40 each in England, France and
Italy; and 32 in Canada. Every continent is represented. Even
islands and mountain tops. . .Many trips in the book fall into a
‘wow class’ urging you to tell others to read about them. . ."
