The Southern Overland Routes: Cyclists' Guide to a Major Scenic and Historic Route Through the Southwest.

They have previously collaborated on another guidebook, The Anza-Borrego Desert Region (1978). The new guide, Southern Overland Route, is a very thorough one. It describes the climate, water, road system, accommodations, and scenic and historic attractions of the route. The bulk of the guide gives a detailed account of the route with practical matters such as lists of bicycle repair shops, medical facilities, and detailed directions. The book is an excellent guide for the growing number of American bicyclists; it is also a useful guidebook for other kinds of travellers as well.
