Product Description
This ultimate "physician’s desk reference" for travelers addresses the questions, anxieties, concerns, and desire for essential information that are common to seasoned and novice travelers alike. Peter Greenberg, best-selling author, trusted Today show travel editor, and the man that writer Paul Theroux calls "the liberator and defender of the traveling public," offers an encyclopedic look at every aspect of the travel process, both domestically and internationally, from the true definition of travel terms to in-depth explanations of how things really work. Do you want to know which airline seats are the best and worst? How you can vacation in a lighthouse, a monastery, or even a converted prison? Which countries require you to get visas before you visit? Or won’t let you in even if you have a passport? Which airlines are the worst "bumping" offenders? How you can avoid hidden fees? The Complete Travel Detective Bible offers up answers to these questions and much more. Everything is cross-referenced and each chapter is filled with useful charts, lists, and diagrams, making for an easily accessible format. Greenberg, who has been to more than 146 countries, is an expert without equal at outplaying the travel industry at its own games, securing the best fares, accommodations, and service at the lowest possible prices. He shares every one of these hard-won, ingenious insider secrets in this book, making The Complete Travel Detective Bible the ultimate word on travel today.

Great travel book!, 2008-09-11
This very well-written and informative book has real useful information by a travel tramp who knows the real ins and outs of travel with very informative and helpful ideas you would never think of to save your trip, your health and your wallet. East to read and in chapters, so you can read areas that interest you most first. The whole book is a great read and I learned many things I would have never known even though I do travel on a regular basis internationally. No details have been left out and travelers can plan their trips much better after reading this book. I looked at other books in the bookstore and this one stands out. Real helpful information explicitly told and you won't want to put this book down. A+

Couldn't put it down., 2008-08-31
After I saw Peter on Good Morning America, I promptly ordered the book from Amazon. When it arrived, I breezed through the table of contents and decided that it appeared that my best approach would be to start with the first chapter. Spent many evenings fascinated.
I travel a great deal. In January I planned to spend time in Belgium where my grandchild will be born. I need to keep my Executive Coaching business flowing so I was wondering what to do about my cell phone to keep connected to the United States. I went to his book and there were all kinds of tips. Makes my research and decision making very easy.

You NEED this book!, 2008-01-17
I've been traveling for business and pleasure for 37 years, up to two weeks and half a dozen different cities per month. Most importantly, my travels have been on my dime, because I'm self-employed, and I've sought every time- and money-saving ploy I could come up with. But I learned a frightening amount of new information from this book.
There is a good mixture of tips for buying tickets, getting the most from your hotel stays, and other procedural topics, as well as good information oriented towards specific destinations. This book is excellent for browsing, or for reading from cover-to-cover.
If you think you know everything there is to know about travel: you don't. Peter Greenberg does, however, and you should take advantage of his expertise.
