best book on the subject

I needed help in planning a month long trip to see up to ten National Parks in Utah, Colorado, and Arizona.This book is the answer.It provides all the needed information. Maps, campgrounds, motels, where to eat.Especially useful is a section for each park titled, "what to do if you only have one day".This helped me get a idea of how much time to alot to each park.Also extremly useful is the detailed breakdown of potential hikes for each park.Decribes length, what you'll see, difficulty level, etc..
This book is truely an invaluable resource for planning a trip out west.

Good time saver
An excellent guide for organizing data generally available from the NPS sites, but the data there are all in each parks own format.So Frommer's provides the data in a consistent format, very readable, and gives information on the services in the surrounding area that is usually not available on the NPS sites.

Always A Good Bet
Frommer's is synonymous with good guide books for whereever you want to travel, and if you are looking for a good book about the parks this is worth picking up.Replete with directions and suggestions of where to go, what to see and how to plan what you would like to see based on the length of your visit, it is pretty well covered.Some things change, particularly prices and some places mentioned, so if you have a chance to make a couple of calls ahead of time it is a good idea to double check these things and hours of operation, but still an impressive overall book.

Comprehensive, a little dull
This guide gives comprehensive information and covers all National Parks in the Western United States. Details are given on possible routes, campground locations and even their facilities. However, information is given in a rather boring way, and people searching for nice pictures should definitely look for another title. The photos on front and back cover are the only pictures found in this guide.
The parks are listed alphabetically, which helps finding your information fast.

A good road trip guide.
I bought this book in order to have an informational book about all the National Parks along my road trip from Seattle to San Diego.I have used several guide books and mostly purchase hiking, camping, climbing and fishing books. This was a guide book like those I purchase for international travel and I felt that it served it's purpose well.It gave me the basic rundown on each park, the highlights and where all the important sights were, which is perfect for roadside National Park visiting.It includes maps (although not detailed if you want to do more extensive hiking), lists of campgrounds, some highlight hikes and locations, places to stay and some extra stuff around the park (i.e. towns, eating, hotels).

It seemed to be just enough to get us by and the only time I wished there was more was when I wanted to do backcountry hiking/camping but that isn't something you get in an all around National Park book unless you want it to to be 1,000 pages long with topo maps to boot!I suggest going to the Visitor Centers for more indepth information, park maps and hiking information.The centers are always great resources, along with the roadside and trailside signs, you just have to take the time to read when you are interested.

An action packed space adventure. A real page turner.
This one was by far the best of the shatterzone novels. Its about a mercenary who confronts some unknown creatures from beyond an impenetrable barrier in space called the "Shatterzone".It had my kind of storyline:intense action, mystery, and a character you can't help but admire. It's not the best book I've read but if your into the genre, it's definately worth checking out ... Read more

It's a bound PDF.
The following should not be taken as a knock against Deadlands or the quality of the game itself.Deadlands is a great RPG, lots of fun, and the content of the books is wonderful.

But, the book Amazon will sell you is a bound PDF (the other reviews must be from fans of the RPG who did not buy it from Amazon, or bought it when the book was still in print).This is, to the best of my knowledge, the same thing you'd get if you bought it from the game's publisher, Pinnacle.IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL HARDCOVER.This version has pixelated images, a soft cover, low quality paper, and no color.

So, if you just want the game, this is perfectly fine, but if you want the original printing, look elsewhere.

I receive the wrong cover
the book is awesome but on the title say hardcover and i receive today a softcover book

If you like westerns, horror or gaming, this series a must!
The counterpart to the The Weird West Player's Guide , the Deadlands: Marshal's Guide is an indispensable resource for players of the popular role-playing game, and an entertaining read for fans of speculative or period fiction.

Written in the same irreverent style as the Player's Guide, this book contains the secrets of the Weird West, an alternate history in which the U.S. Civil War did not go as planned, and in which horrors, both real and imagined, stalk the night.

Whether you are a fan of westerns (specifically such gems as Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name movies), horror, or role-playing in general, this series is an absolute must-have.

Much care and research has gone into creating an alternate American West that is believable, creepy and entertaining.The presentation is evocative of the time period, and the mechanics of the game are first-rate.

Parents looking for an alternative to video games and television for their children aged twelve and up need look no farther; role-playing is a hobby that encourages literacy, problem-solving skills, creativity, expression and sociability, and furthermore, players portray western heroes in this game, encouraging behaviour that is a far cry from the "kill 'em all" mentality of so many video games, not to mention movies.

Which is what Deadlands offers interested readers: The chance to star in a western movie or novel in which the heroes' actions are determined by the players (readers) rather than a set script.

The Marshal's Guide serves to help the player in the director's chair bring these adventures to life.

Gamers, do yourself a favour and give this line a try.You won't regret it, pardner.

A must have
Like in most RPG's the book for the Marshal (GM) is an esential book to have.This book has a great deal of the dirty little secrets concerning the "Weird West".

I found the book to be well written with only a few dry sections.This book intends to keep your attention so that you can fascinate your players and scare the pants off of them as they begin to learn the real truth.

Aside from this book, the Marshal should realistically purchase the Player's Guide.Also necessary for the game are poker chips, dice, and a few decks of poker cards.

If you like Westerns, heck even if you don't (I didn't till Deadlands) give this game atry.It certainly is worth the dinero.

Deadlands marshal's handbook
Although I am not my groups marshal, I have read this book, and I must say that it is key to any deadlnas adventure.This and the player's handbook are both required to play deadlnads, one of the best RPG's ever.Providing everything that a G.M, or "marshal" needs to know, thisindespensible book come with a great sample adventure to get a campaigngoing. ...

Shane Daniels, Bull Rider with Baggage
Harlequin's "Heart of the West" series has heroes with troubled youths who somehow overcome their bad beginnings.

Like them, Shane Daniels, a bull riding champion carry baggage from his past that makes it difficult for him to commit. A commitment phobe. Will he fall for our heroine? Of course! But how... nice read!

As good as the rest in this series
Shane Daniels like the rest of the bachelors in this series were very fun to read. Shane is reunited with a woman he once know but never thought he would see again. She is sent on a mission on behalf of her hometown to save their Old Pioneer Days Festival by winning him in the acution. She hoped to presuade him to just turn up for the day, but he has other ideas which she is not to pleased about as she has something to hide from him. Their jounery from the auction to the festival has it up and downs. Like all the rest of the bachelors in the series its shows that men can have a somewhat softer side. ... Read more
