Very Fun! Makes traveling interesting!

When we are planning trips, this is one of our standard reference books. Watching some of these things being made is great fun. In fact, it is not uncommon for us to go out of our way to see some factory and we have always been glad we have done so. This book is well organized and well written. It is easy to understand. The facts in this book are well researched. I know for a fact that there are some tours that are not listed in this book. However, that doesn't mean this book isn't worth every penny, it is. Enjoy.

A great resource that can spice up any vacation

This colorful and creative book is not just fun to read, its useful. When my wife and I plan out a vacation, we determine the shortest route (a must with 2 small children), then consult WATCH IT MADE IN THE U.S.A. to see what fun and family friendly tours we can enjoy along the way. This book in well organized and easy to read. A must for family vacation planners!

This is a great book for families!

This book is great and full of exciting places to visit. One of our favorites was the Herr's Potato Chip Factory in Pennsylavania. We are haeding acroos the US this summer and plan to visit some of the places in this book.
