"Your book Yellowstone Treasures was with us constantly. Glenda would read the next milestone while I did the driving. I cannot thank you enough. It is one of the best organized books and the most useful [we] have used. Thanks so much for what you added to our enjoyment of the trip."

"We stood for a very long time at Barnes and Noble, looking at several guidebooks on Yellowstone and thankfully chose Janet’s book. It was organized the way a guest in Yellowstone needs in order to move through the park. You feel like you are on the Grand Loop roadways before you arrive in real time. This book influenced many decisions for us ‘newbies’ to Yellowstone. We chose the Beartooth Highway and Northeast entrance because of it. We found the most beautiful geysers and vistas . . . and we formed accurate visuals of what our full day horseback ride around Garnet Hill and the Hellroaring extension trail would be like. There are still hundreds of things we want to see and experience thanks to this book. We’ve been back for three weeks now and I still can’t put the thing down . . . the book is begging to get back in the car . . . we might have to oblige. Thank you Janet!"

"Just returned from my first real trip to Yellowstone (my first was a one day trip almost 40 years ago) and Janet's book was my bible for this trip. It was either in the backpack or on the dashboard ALL the time. It now has many dog eared pages. Great information, locations were dead on. Just wish that there were a few interspersed blank pages (perhaps at the end of each section) to write a few notes about what we saw, our thoughts, etc."

Rick Wells, Reading, Pennsylvania

"Janet Chapple's book lets you set up your own tour and I consider it the bible of Yellowstone. Whenever we have friends going, even if they have been, I tell them to buy it or loan them mine. I learned more about the Park from that book than anything else I have read or heard. I still get it out and read it just for pleasure and learn something new every time."

"I carried this book around as if it were my bible! My family made so much fun of me, but we sure didn't miss ANYTHING and we always knew exactly what was what and where everything was to see and do. It is a must for anyone's first time visit!"

Elaine Marcus

"Your book is one of my favorites and THE one that I always mention when folks ask for recommendations."

Veronica

"I think Yellowstone Treasures sets a very high mark for other guidebooks and travel guides to reach for."

Lory Wilson

"I just purchased your book a couple of weeks ago—I am an avid Yellowstone fan and have many, many books about the area, but Yellowstone Treasures is MARVELOUS! It's the only one that combines my love of geology and wildlife with the needed travel info (like where to get gas, that's always good to know). The photography is excellent, it's fun to read, and also small and compact, which makes it easy to carry."

Pat Snyder, Portland, Oregon

"We have received it and love it. [The book] already has curled ears."

George Hollington, Boise, Idaho
