From Publishers Weekly
Today show travel editor Greenberg (The Travel Detective) is determined to get travelers the best hotel rooms and perks for the least amount of money, whether they’re staying at a Holiday Inn or a Ritz-Carlton. His advice covers everything from how to tip, snag a nice room and make friends with the concierge to ordering room service and childproofing a room. His advice is a choppy mix of the valuable (e.g., a hotel’s Web site isn’t always the best place to find the lowest rate), the commonsensical (e.g., beware the charges that may be incurred for merely opening a mini bar), the gutsy (e.g., ask if there’s a handicapped-accessible room available when arriving at a hotel—even if you’re not handicapped—since those rooms are larger), the far-fetched (e.g., if room service won’t bring a specific dish, call the hotel dining room and ask them to deliver what you want via room service) and the paranoid (e.g., hotels that have in-room safes aren’t trustworthy). All the same, Greenberg’s chatty humor and use of detailed anecdotes will be appreciated by both jet-setters and those just beginning their travels

Indispensable information for away-from-home lodging, from the author of the New York Times bestseller The Travel Detective

In Hotel Secrets from the Travel Detective, America’s best-known and most trusted travel authority reveals the insider knowledge that can make every hotel stay as comfortable as (and sometimes even more cost-efficient than) home. With his incomparable access and nose for news, Peter Greenberg shares the secrets that people who know hotels—managers, maids, reservation clerks, bellhops, chefs, and maintenance guys—don’t want you to know about value, service, safety, security, and cleanliness. Tips include:

• How to tell if your room is really clean
• What never to order from room service
• The real way to prevent hotel crime
• How to beat excessive hotel phone charges
• The exact rooms where headline-making events took place

Drawn from the author’s experiences as both an investigative reporter and a constant traveler, Hotel Secrets from the Travel Detective is an essential guide to everything from luxury resorts to motels, from airport hotels and bed-and-breakfasts to outrageous (and often secret) alternatives to hotels.

From Publishers Weekly
With its emphasis on conservation and the outdoors, Field and Stream has attracted a wide readership. To celebrate a century of publication, the editors have amassed a sparkling collection of essays. There is only one woman contributor-Florence Tasker writes about a canoe trip to the Hudson Bay and across Labrador in 1907. We hear voices from the past-Zane Grey, Corey Ford, Archibald Rutledge. C.C. Gillham writes about mastodon steaks and other rare meats; Byron Dalrymple recalls fishing camps of the 1930s and ’40s; H.G. Tapply offers advice on the etiquette of hunting with another man’s dog. The essays embrace nostalgia, adventure and humor and will appeal to readers who enjoy the outdoors. Photos not seen by PW.

From Library Journal
Northwestern Field & Stream debuted in April 1895, took its present name in 1897, and by 1917 led all competitors in circulation, advertising, and influence. Always a strong conservation advocate and a showcase for good outdoors writing, it boasted columnists Robert Ruark, Corey Ford, H.G. Tapply, and Ed Zern plus regulars such as A.J. McClano and Archibald Rutledge. The only stated basis for inclusion in this volume is good writing. There is no pattern of arrangement, but the 51 selections are evenly distributed among the decades from the 1990s through the 1950s; there are seven selections from before 1950, and the lone female author is from 1908. Field & Stream is in nearly every public and academic library, but those without extensive backfiles may find this collection a good representation of a rich tradition in sporting magazines. [Not available for review, the illustrations present memorable covers from the magazine's first 100 years.-Ed.]-Roland Person, Southern Illinois Univ. Lib., Carbondal.
