Not the best book, and there is an updated version available
Now, about the 1999 version. Amazon is not so great about removing older versions of books and this is one example - if you are going to buy it, get the 2006 version. . . . I will agree that it is helpful for driving through the park, but it's only good if you are traveling in the direction she has written it in. For example, if you are traveling a particular leg from north to south but she has written the guide traveling south to north, it is really difficult to follow. The book Yellowstone Treasures by Janet Chapple is written with mile markers regardless of which direction you are traveling in, so I recommend it over this one. Chapple's book is also more comprehensive.

Scenic Driving: Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks
It has also prepared me for what to look for. I love the detailed descriptions she writes mile by mile which will be very helpful to have in the car as I drive through the parks myself.

As a "map lover" I like the detailed maps of different sections of the park even more. But . . . I have two complaints: 1) Her maps do not include everything she describes. To me, that is the purpose of a zoomed in map of one section of the park! 2) In her written description she talks way too much about the fire of 1988! But overall I have found the book helpful in my preparation for a visit to both parks and plan to carry it with me.

Great reference and take along guide
We felt like we had our own personal guide. I purchased many books as a reference for our first trip to Yellowstone, this is the one book I decided to take with us and we used it everyday, the information given was interesting and easy to follow. Would recommend this book to anyone.
