Considering this book was first published twenty-two years ago, it has aged very, very well. It's a humorous tavelogue of a couple spending two months driving the byways of Alaska in their RV.
Original review posted:
I loved the content and would be eager to read this author's other books based upon this one if it weren't for the Kindle formating/typo problems. I had to downgrade the overall rating since there are errors on practically every page and there were five in one paragraph alone. It is more than just irritating since many of the typos involved proper names -- particularly towns and landmarks. Trying to use this book to look up locations for a future visit would be difficult since the names of places changed from one point to the next. "Tbk" was really the town of Tok, etc. Almost any time a trail is mentioned, it said "TVail." Took me a while to get used to that.
While the content is wonderful, the errors significantly impacted my enjoyment since I was having to decode so much of the text to what it supposed to be.
Additional comments added:
I reported the formatting problems to Kindle Customer Support and spent 45 minutes with them while they verified the problem was indeed with the book. They eventually had me delete the book and rebuy it. This seems to have resulted in a clean copy. I purchased the book in January 2012 and they obviously "cleaned up" the copy since then but did not automatically send updates to those of us with the problem copies. I would feel confident buying it now but if you have an older version and see some of the typos and formatting issues, please contact Kindle Customer Service and get it replaced.
