Each spa gets a quick overview on 'whether this spa is for you.' Full of helpful information and Ms. Foglino's writing is vivid and engaging. This was one travel book I actually found myself reading (I find most boring). The photos are unusually beautiful too. Photographer Linda Troeller can make a mud bath into a work of art. My one problem with the book is that most of the spa resorts are pretty expensive (there are only a couple that are for the budget-minded.) It would make a great present for a friend or relative who loves spas, or someone who likes to dream.

This book saved my life! Had to go on a long, stressful trip to the Southwest and knew I'd need a break at the end. I found Spa Journeys in my doctor's office (of all places!) and used it to find an *incredible* spa in Arizona. It doesn't just tell if a place is good or bad; it explains how you can turn your trip into a really intense, positive, life-changing experience. I'm planning a trip to Europe this summer and will use Spa Journeys for that, too. Thanks, Linda and Annette!

Different from other travel books. The photos are unique and artistic (some of them are very sexy, too!). Foglino writes with a sense of humor (an over decorated Virginia spa reminds her of "the inside of a pillow-case"). This book is a far cry from the usual rehash of brochures pix and promotional come-ons. It's fun to read and fun to just look at!
