"I want to tell you how much I enjoy these books. Not simply because they provide me with amazing rides I'd otherwise miss. They're also well-written enough to be recreational reading (my wife is always asking me what could be so funny in a guide book). And quite simply, it's a joy to see someone take on such a big project and do it so right." --Phil

"DHBC is fabulous --well written, well laid out, well researched, well presented and well worth its price.  It's going to be our bible." --Wolf & Ann R

"I'd ridden through most of BC for over twenty years and thought that I had seen pretty much all of it, that is until I picked up a copy of DHBC. I didn't have a clue about how many fantastic roads I was missing until using your book. Great job!" --Dave T

"An amazing book!  And worth every penny. Have ridden BC roads many times but now I have so many more to ride that I never knew existed!!! --Doc

"Last spring I did a motorcycle trip on the roads in DHBC. It was the most fun I've ever had on a bike trip!" --Drax

"Destination Highways BC has for a few years been THE bible for backroads in BC. Having recently put DH Washington to the test, I have to say it is as valuable as a few sheets of TP tucked away for emergencies when riding in remote areas." --EFZEDONE

"I have ridden the following DHs over the years: 34, 3, 13, 23, 28, 67 & 62; part of 18, 81, 37, 42, 44, 78, 9, 26, 29, 51, 6, 7, 24, 17, 63 & 76... As far as the roads I have ridden, your commentaries are right on. After reading your book I realize how much I have missed!" --Jeffrey H

"Compared to Destination Highways books, everything else is a giant stinking turd." --Phil H

"We used your BC and WA books to guide us on our annual summer tour this past June and could not have put together such a great trip without them!" --B LaMear

"I have both DHWA and DHBC and love them. I've purchased several copies to give to friends. Everyone loves them. Thanks for the hard work and keep them coming--can't wait to see Northern California!"--John

"Totally LOVE the writing style - the quick wit and sense of humor found in the text makes it hard to put the book down!" --Bev M

"I have briefly read through DHBC and have found it to be spectacular. You have given us much to look forward to. Thank you for the quality publication... Your book would be worth it at twice the price!" --Dave M

"DHBC and DHWA are excellent books and the most comprehensive guides you can buy. I use them for every trip we do. Next up is DH Northern California which I’m sure will be worth its purchase price. Give these guys a chance and they will cover every decent road in North America. Let's support ‘em and get a few more books out that also provide great dream material for the long cold winter months…" --Sloguy

"Your book partially contributed to my return to motorcycling, now with an R1100S I'm using it to explore BC. The information is great, and the book is really well written - witty boys, witty! It's a great read, bike or no bike. Looking forward to the WA book and beyond."--Chris

"Bought DHBC this weekend, all I have to say is I have looked at it a few times and hummed and hawed about it, and if any of you were in the same state as me, BUY THE BOOK! It IS worth it. I have ridden many of the routes in there but many I never knew existed!" --CREWZN

"Great books, I have all 3 now (including a second copy of BC) and have just asked to be notified when DH SoCal is out! Have used DHWA and DH NorCal to determine our yearly late May trip. Going to the Lassen Volcanic Reserve and south area this year. Should be a blast! Your books make these trips MUCH more enjoyable and productive. Keep up the good work." --Paul M

"At the last Calgary Motorcycle Show I stopped at your booth to tell you how impressed I was with DHBC when you pitched me on DHWA. I started to protest, stating that I have never even ridden there but then I realized that if Washington was worth you guys covering, certainly it must be worth me checking out.  Thank you in advance for the great adventures there that surely await!!!!" --Dave T

"DHBC is a phenomenal resource and has been a terrific gift for friends and family members." --Andrew G

"I just don’t think you will find more comprehensive and detailed bike guides anywhere else." --Lisen

"I love DHBC. My friends and I are in awe of the roads we have taken... we took DH5 to DH2 and were absolutely amazed at the fun and beauty these routes provided"
--Caesar D

"Loved your BC book, have now ridden most of your rated highways and just ordered the Washington book. Terrific stuff, guarantees a great ride!"--Rob K

"DHBC is as fascinating as a Tom Clancy war thriller. I couldn't put it down.  Now I can't wait to get there!"--Randy F

"With DHBC you could go for a week through the Interior and Rockies and never see the same road twice (and never have to be on Hwy 1). You'll have spent so much time turning you'll feel like a windshield wiper!" --TeeTee

"This, bar none, is the best American motorcycle guide we've read. Hopefully, it won't take too long for Bosworth and Sanders to survey the rest of the roads in the US because everyone with a passion for waltzing a bike through beautiful roads needs one of these guides." --RoadRUNNER, Motorcycle Cruising & Touring

"An astonishingly thorough guide...this thing is so in-depth, it's sort of hard to describe. If you want to know where to ride in the state of Washington and what it's like, this is your book."--RiderWearhouse/Aerostich.com  

"The word "thorough" does not even begin to cover these books." --Friction Zone, Motorcycle Travel & Information

"There are lots of great roads in Washington and across the border to the north in British Columbia, Canada. We're not talking just nice roads like the Blue Ridge Parkway, we're talking scenic paved roads zooming over majestic mountain passes similar to the European Alps, twisting around volcanoes such as Mt St Helens and zipping through shadowy canyons as impressive as any in North America. There's no question there are great roads in the Northwest. The only question is which ones do you have time for? My personal suggestion is to get a copy of Destination Highways Washington. Personally, I'm impressed with the amount of information in these guides. These guys have done their homework and it shows. I know you're going to find DHWA impressive, so I also suggest you get a copy of Destination Highways British Columbia." --David L Hough author of "Proficient Motorcycling" "More Proficient Motorcycling" & "Street Strategies" (in BMW ON)

"Travel books are helpful for reading up on an area before you go, and also for catching the bug to go to an area. Bosworth and Sanders have created a book series that  scores high on both counts. Most importantly, these books are focused on the needs and interests of motorcyclists. Be forewarned: thumb through a copy (of DHBC) and you’ll probably be thinking about heading to Canada’s western province next summer. I scrutinized the second book (DHWA) to see if (they) had discovered my favorite roads, and whether we agreed on the ratings. How about the twisty road between Enterprise, Oregon and Clarkston, Washington? Few riders seem to have discovered that little gem. Yep, it’s DH18.  I’m surprised they found that one, but I agree with the rating. OK, how about Forest Service Road 25 from Randle south past Mt. St. Helens? Sure enough, it’s DH4. Bottom line: I’d trust these guys. I’m impressed with these very functional and informative motorcycling guides."  
--David L Hough (in Motorcycle Consumer News)

"This is an impressive book...the Ulysses of guide books, a pound and a half of maps, stories, arcane and sometimes humorous facts, indexes and qualitative ratings... rides are described intimately, as if they had stopped after each curve, dug out notebooks and held detailed conversations...Even the Glossary of Twisted Terms is amusing: if you've never heard of "twistosterone" you need to get yourself some...as in the BC book, maps are printed for easy use in low light. There are a lot of maps, by the way, and they are very good maps... You can see where the money went: spiral-bound, full-color, printed like an art book and exhaustive detail."
--Cycle Canada  Read Complete Review 

"I finally got off my ass and ordered (DHWA & DHBC), and I've spent the last several days flipping through them like a crack addict...and my boys at Twisted Edge Publishing provided the fix for me.  If you live in the Pacific Northwest or are even thinking about planning a ride to that area, I recommend picking up these little gems.  Hell, even if you're heading up there in the cage these would come in handy.  Double hell!  Even if you're a map freak and can appreciate the beautiful layout of these books...you'll love 'em!"--www.sport-touring.net  Read Complete Review

"Bosworth and Sanders have done a great job of profiling Washington State’s best roads... (it's) a bargain price when you consider the wealth of information that’s in the book" --www.soundrider.com  Read Complete Review

"For my fellow enthusiasts who view the journey as the equal or even greater reward then the destination, this book is for you. ...the TEs listed in my area identified a number of roads that I had not discovered in the past 10 years, they alone would be worth the price of the book. ...this 542 page reference work will become an essential part of your Ferrari. It is some of the best money I have spent on mine." --www.ferrari.com 

"If a ride through Washington State is in your plans, you could miss a lot if you go without getting this book first" --IronWorks, The Journal for Harley Enthusiasts

"Donut Hole: (n) that part of a Krispy Kreme with no pastry or that part of central Washington with no curves."  That's from the Twisted Terms Glossary at the front of Brian Bosworth's and Michael Sanders' latest foray into moto-publishing: the highly entertaining, gorgeously produced, 542-page bikers' guide... they nailed it first time out (with DHBC), and promise to do so once again with this fully mapped and rated guide to the most scenic twists and turns in Washington State. I can attest to the accuracy and usefulness of Bosworth and Sanders' rating system. Their top-rated road (in Washington) was one of my peak experiences last summer."

"These guys know who is reading this stuff and there is no politically correct filler here.  They write for the dedicated rider and do it so well you could imagine you are talking to a fellow rider at a gas station sharing tips on where to go.  I have used the previous book to plan out some great rides in BC and know that these guys know what they are talking about. --North Shore News  Read Complete Review

"I have all 3 of your Destination Highways books and find them invaluable in planning my routes." --Keith H

Media Buzz:

"DH Northern California immediately renders irrelevant whole tank bags full of road maps.  Its 570 spiral-bound pages contain all the exhaustive detail that long-time fans of the DH series have come to expect. The sheer volume of detail guarantees the time spent reading their books will not be wasted." –Kate Edwards, Friction Zone  read complete review

"I was shocked at the level of detail I found in your NorCal epic. Your stuff is astoundingly informative and entertaining––absolutely top-notch." –Andy Cherney, Editor, Motorcycle Cruiser

"I hate reviews that describe a book  as a "must have" purchase. It's an abdication of the responsibility of the reviewer to provide cogent criticism.  Having said that, DH NorCal is a..... must have purchase. Actually, all three books are!" –American Road magazine

"Northern California has vinified the six (TIRES) truths of joyous motorcycling, bottled them and stuck in a cork. Think of the DHNCA book as your corkscrew, allowing you to savor the 334 roads in NorCal you must consume before you die." –Cycle Canada

"The best motorcycle road reference books ever published. I own all three books and love them."
–Neal Ulen, founder www.sport-touring.net

"IT ROCKS!  DH NorCal is their third book and these guys thought it through. Extremely useful knowledge and made the grade on the ride as well. It took a few maps to get all the abbreviations down, but not too long and once you got 'em... no problem. An amazing book and worth the scrilla ($$$). Over 550 pages of moto heaven!" –Budman, founder BARF www.bayarearidersforum.com

"You could waste more money on gas than this book costs, looking for roads you won’t find without it. If a ride in California might be in your future, this book should be in your present." –Steve Thornton, Upshift

"The only problem I have with DH NorCal is that in looking at the roads that I know, I see all the others, the ones waiting for me, calling, demanding that I pay them a visit. Travel guides can be pure torture at times. Especially good ones like this".
–Max Burns, motojournalist

"Information is very detailed, with intimate descriptions of each road, detailed ratings and 125 full colour maps. If you've got a week or two in NorCal, than it'll be worth spending a few hours (days?) perusing and planning with this book first." www.cmgonline.com

"All you need to know to plan a route that best suits your approach to riding rather than wasting miles on roads you wished you had avoided. For that reason alone, the book is worth the asking price." –Terry Peters, Editor, North Shore News

"The Destination Highways books have always been a fun read in preparation for riding season and an invaluable resource on the road." –Corrie Miller, HOT WHEELS Vancouver Province  read complete review

Rider Buzz:

"I want to congratulate you on having created the outstanding DHNCA! I bought the book just two days ago, and have only put it down to write this email to you, to eat, and to sleep (a bit). It's not often that I see ANY product as thoughtfully conceived and executed, and as I'm a very critical individual, this is not idle or casual praise. Indeed, if I thought there were anything I could add I would come begging for a job, since I'd love to work with such intelligent, well-read, well-versed, humorous, motorcycle-riding people (and that, my friends, seems to be a very small subset of the population). I suppose I will have to console myself by reading your book, and by traveling over many of these roads again, but with newly re-opened eyes. I've been riding in NorCal for 33 years and your book has reinforced my love of riding it--for which I thank you!" 
–Bob B

"Like Mad Maps, DH NorCal lays out routes. Like pashnit.com, DHNCA gives you detailed descriptions of your ride. What separates this book from either source is thoroughness.  A great book, love it!" –Ian C 

"I have never seen such a comprehensive and detailed catalog of motorcycle roads and services of Northern California in print. It is written in a familiar, easy style with a sense of humor most riders will appreciate. Once you see one, you'll have to have it!" –Bob M 

"Just got the book and really like it. And I've been riding in the Sierras for 40 years!" –Dale H 

"I'm really impressed with the cartography, map layout, and accurate detail, especially in my local riding area where there is a lot of confusing twisty roads. The parts that I know read like a local wrote them." –Jeff D

"I just retired and moved to Eureka, NorCal. I have found roads in the area using your book that even the locals don't know about. Great  fun!" –Jerry C

"Bought DH NorCal last week and have been glued to it ever since!" –Neil

"Let me compliment you on a magnificent, informative and entertaining motorcycle travel/touring resource. I have managed to read about 10% of NorCal and have found it spot on for the locations and roads with which I am familiar, and very informative and intriguing regarding areas I am yearning to explore." –Cy Y

"The DH series of books has only one negative...it doesn't cover the entire world! –Jim S

"With DH NorCal, I now have all three of your books and love them. They always go with me when I travel, and I can get "lost" in them for hours at a time during the winter months." –David E

"Thanks for the book! It was really worth the wait (and I'm not just saying that-I MEAN it). It is already my favorite bedside reading book. I can't wait for the next volume in your series." –Laura T

"WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING-KEEP DOING IT! We LOVE your books. Used the BC one extensively for multiple week ride in BC in 2001 and the WA one for an extended trip in 06. Agreed with everything they say." –Tim S

"I already own DH Washington, so DH NorCal was a no-brainer!" –Lee G

"Awesome video clips! The book is fantastic too and I like seeing the video along with the written At a Glance and mile-by-mile On The Road descriptions from the book because we just bought a Harley and have no clue where to ride. Thanks to you, we now have GREAT tools and information for NorCal road trips." –Audrey M

"Just came back from some riding in California and want to mention how helpful the book was. I don't plan a ride without it."
–Norbert G 

"You cannot beat DH NorCal for in depth info." –Scooter

"The best, most thorough motorcycle guide books ever written. I just planned a vacation around one and was not disappointed. You'll wish they 
had these for every state/province!" --islandstrom

"Thank you for these books. They are definitely a godsend to me!" –Apple P

"Finally there is a California  tour guide book for motorcyclists. Very well detailed. A great book!" –Don C

"Excellent, exactly what I expected!" –T 1 Thunder

"I have all 3 of your books and find them invaluable in planning my routes." –Keith H
