Ghost Towns of the Pacific Northwest: Your Guide to the Hidden History of Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia Paperback – April 29, 2013

Bought this as a gift for Father's Day. If you have friends who like to road trip this is a great and fun guide for them off the beaten path!

I m not sure if I should fault the author or myself. I saw, I bought. I did not take advantage of reviews or even the snippet of what the book was about. To me ghost town means just that an empty desolate town that's no longer. This book is about small towns with old architecture and old fashioned ways of life. Tourists towns basically, and most that I have personally been to really do not belong in any book. I suppose they do technically fall under the catagory of ghost town but this book was just disappointing my own fault for having the wrong expectations just wish the author would have decided on a more fitting title so buyer beware. If you are looking for a book about small towns with a niche in classic American tourism, places to grab a bite to eat and visit with the locals this is a great book. If you were hoping for a hike or a truly abandoned town the Internet would make a better reference.

Haven't had a chance to explore the places in this book but, It's interesting to read.

A great ghost town book. We have used this several of times and have found the information to be spot on. The only downside is that it shows some things that are not there anymore.

Liked it

This book has places that have always facinated me, I love the old west and all it had to offer. The places where Young Guns took place. The wild West. It's where we originated and on occasion, you can find an old relic left behind.

interesting view of history

This is a pretty good book.

This book is great history info.but not as I thought it was a travel guide..if you want information it is ok..not what I wanted
