If you travel in the United States, or ever plan to, here's one of the most fascinating books you'll ever use. The authors traveled across America to assemble this travel directory to hundreds of factory tours. From Airstream recreational vehicles in Ohio to Yankee Candle Company in Massachusetts, you'll find your entry to some of the country's most interesting destinations. Have you ever wondered how Hershey gets that little twist on the end of its kisses? Or how to watch your favorite television show being taped? What about learning how potato chips are made and jelly beans get their color? You'll find all this and more if you make plans to visit the factories where these and other items are made. Authors Axelrod and Brumberg provide valuable and well-documented introductory information regarding each of the businesses open for tours. In addition they include details like admission cost (if any, since most are free), freebies and tastings, days and hours, minimum age, and disability access. In addition they suggest if reservations are needed, specific directions, and other nearby attractions. Arranged by state, a listing of each destination factory is included in the contents. What follows is advice for family and business travelers, teachers, field-trip leaders, and individuals who enjoy seeing things made. Included, too, are itinerary planners and vacations planners to help readers make the best of their vacation experiences. You can bet your last dollar the next time I plan to travel anywhere, this book will be one of the first ones I grab from my personal travel library. To paraphrase a popular advertising motto, "I won't leave home without it."
