If you're looking for a book, the more specific it is, the better. A book covering an entire country is usually a waste of time. Some LonelyPlanet books that cover an entire country aren't bad. A book such as the APA Insight Guides that cover one specific city are great. For the U.S., the Moon guides that cover one state are pretty good. If you're driving across the U.S., your most important book is a Rand-McNally Road Atlas. The best travel guide is a good friend who has been there before.
