Along Interstate-75, 18th Edition: From Detroit To The Florida Border Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Along Interstate-75, from Detroit to the Florida Border. Interstate-75 is the main route for the millions of Midwestern "snowbirds" who drive to and from Florida each winter . . . and the current edition of Along I-75 is the "must have" guide for the trip. Whether a first-timer or one who has driven the route for many years, the book is packed with local information along the way, a culmination of more than 50 years of the author's Florida-bound I-75 driving experience. Getting there is half the fun―Local knowledge, "Insider" and Money Saving tips, lodging & restaurant recommendations and mile-by-mile roadside stories and entertainment. Each of the book's 25 mile-per-page colored strip-maps takes an average of 30 minutes to drive, providing a sense of pacing for your trip - excellent for planning your night stops while on the route. The two sets of custom-designed maps (south and northbound) are intuitive and very easy to use - even for non-map readers. Each "fits" your direction of travel so landmarks and features drawn on the right side of the map, pass on the right side of your car. Designed with in-car use in mind, the book has a laminated wrap-around cover and book mark flap. A concealed plastic spiral binding allows the book to be easily folded back to display the current road-section map. Completely updated every odd numbered year, Along I-75 contains no advertising or commercial content. Each current edition of the book has a "reader's only" website where major updates to the book's information are posted. The book features: • 78 colored 25 mile road strip maps (39 for each direction of travel), • 28 colored maps (side-trips and towns) and 196 colored photos, • 67 b&w maps and photos, • 105 charts and diagrams, • 72 restaurant and money-saving tips, • 24 Special Interest reports. Companion book: Along Florida's Expressways. A driving guide which covers all of the Sunshine States' interstates, expressways and toll routes, in a similar format. It includes I-75 from the Georgia/Florida border southwards to Miami. (Dave Hunter)

Even in the age of smart phones, this book is incredibly useful. I have an earlier edition and just purchase this one for an upcoming trip. Lots of great information and it is super easy to use. Love that it tells you what is available at every exit and great little tips such as common speed traps. Great buy for the traveler!ETA: Just got home from our Michigan to Florida road trip! So, glad that I purchased this book. It was so useful and offers great tips and facts. This book is super easy to use and follow. For example, I had a super crabby toddler that needed to stretch, looked at the book - McDonald's with an indoor playplace next exit. Perfect, stopped for a break. It takes the guessing game out travel. I can see what is coming up a every exit, how many stops until the potty, etc. I would not take a trip without it! Thanks, Dave! :)
For anyone who travels I-75 regularly, this book is a must have. It lists every rest stop, all the amenities at each interchange, gives restaurant recommendations, and tells you the history of the area you are traveling through. He also lists area where speed traps are located. That alone is worth the price of the book. I have bought every edition of this book, I think, and I recommend it to all my family and friends.
This book is informative and fun. It provides information about restaurants and gas stations at each exit as well as the location of rest stops and attractions along the way. I love the way it's arranged, with the mapped road moving up the page, the same number of miles per page, mile markers along the page edge and on the road, speed trap warnings, different road colors indicating the speed limits, and so much more. The history of I-75 and the states it runs through, along with the tourist suggestions provides very entertaining and informative reading. I buy the new edition whenever it comes out and pass the old one on to friends.
Just used - loved it during that long trek. Just drove back to Michigan fr Florida. We've joined forces with I-75 on this trip twice yrly for 7 yrs, but having Dave's guide allowed me to feel we finally had some control. Its provision of all exits with gas availability and restaurants within one mile was fabulous. We've all taken an exit with signs for gas, to then drive 3 miles before finding it. This guide gives you some power - how many of us have questioned, "do we stop at the next exit? will it have what we need? what if we don't, is there another exit w/gas just up the road?" Just planning for "pee" breaks was worth the price of this book. The background travelogue with tidbits re the area was fun and being able to "knock down" 25 miles after each page was super. Learning how the guide works takes a few minutes but is so worth the time. This book is now an integral part of our arsenal when we hit that ribbon up and down.
Don't leave home without it! I had this easy to navigate book on my lap from Detroit to the Florida border. It was current (so many guides aren't), funny, and comprehensive. Spend the money! You'll make it up on the speeding tickets you DON'T get.
Just bought a more recent edition as we have used this book repeatedly. The previous one was marked with a lot of notes; however, we found that some of the attractions/dining spots were no longer open for business. It was time to get a more up-to-date edition. This book has been a valuable tool for us.
I have used this book several times since I recieved it. It is so useful! I love how I am able to seek out rest area's, restaurants and hotels before we need them. It also has many useful facts and lists area's of interest.
This is probably the 5th one we have purchased . . . and we are not disappointed. Dave Hunter does a magnificently thorough review of the I-75 corridor that is truly amazing and delightful. I'm afraid I miss too much of the beautiful scenery with my nose stuck in the book. We have used this book for ourselves, given it as gifts, and recommended it to many friends. The companion book for the Florida Interstates is also a treasure trove of excellent information! I will continue to buy the new editions as long as we drive I-75!
