akwego Posted July 7, 2009 #26 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I know I can count on folks on this board to recommend some good books on Alaska before we take the cruise. All suggestions, please... Thanks, Terri Don't know what kind of books you are looking for but we bought five through the years. Frommer's Alaska, Alaska for Dummies, Scenic Driving (Alaska and the Yukon), Lonely Planet - Alaska, and Insight Guides - alaska. And with all that, I found most of my information off the Internet.

travelbuds Posted July 7, 2009 #27 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Although it doesn't have pretty pictures, I found this to be very informative-Alaska's Southeast by Mike Miller. http://www.amazon.com/Alaskas-Southeast-11th-Touring-Passage/dp/0762745355/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246940720&sr=1-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainhouse Posted July 7, 2009 #28 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Sue Henry's mysteries are really good. I especially liked her first, "Murder on the Iditarod Trail." You'll feel like you were riding on the sled. I agree! I saw Libby Riddles speak 2 weeks ago in Juneau. She was selling this book at her table - led me to think the information in these novels is very well researched. The 2nd book in the Alaska series, Sleeping Lady, takes place in the Klondike. I really liked that to. The 3rd book should be here in a few days - just ordered. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
