You don't fall into tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. Doing
so is like having a trusted friend show you around, taking you to the
places locals like best. That's because our guidebooks, unlike much of
the competition, are written by resident experts (not outsiders)--like
Janis Turk, the author of Frommer's Texas, and the managing editor of
San Antonio AT HOME magazine. In her highly opinionated book, she'll
help you sort through the options so you can tailor a vacation that's
right for you.
Frommer's Texas covers all of the Lone Star State's highlights--from the
vibrant nightlife in Austin to the historic sights of Dallas and San
Antonio, from the trails of Big Bend to parades of longhorns in Fort
Worth and more.
