New 36 Hours Books

Here at Out There Outfitters, we're huge fans of the New York Times 36 Hours books, and we know a lot of you are too.  In fact we couldn't keep them in stock around Christmastime.  Well, to our delight a shipment of the newest release from Taschen Publishing has come in, and they're awesome!  If carrying around the original book on a quick weekend trip was weighing you down, they have split it into 5 separate books based on regions of the USA and Canada.

Unless you're packing up the VW Bus and planning the next great American Road Trip (which if you are, please bring us!), taking along the original book along with you may not be necessary.  The thinner books are great for tossing in a backpack or carry on, so you can only bring the information you need for the area you're traveling in.

The book gives you an easy to follow itinerary for a weekend trip to many great locations in the US and Canada.  It starts with your arrival on Friday afternoon and gives a complete breakdown of how to spend your time until Sunday evening, including not-to-be-missed points of interest and great places to dine.  There's even a small map with all the itinerary items marked.  Each book is peppered with pictures and stunning illustrations that make it as much a joy to read as it is to plan your trip.
