Got mine earlier this week.  Surprised the piss out of me. I'd forgotten about it and don't get a lot of things delivered to work.

I'd take a little caution though... some of the "drives" are not very interesting.  Of note, the recommendation of the "Arroyo Seco Historic Parkway".  Being that it's the 110 freeway between Los Angeles and Pasadena.  Not really what i consider scenic. Then again, i don't know if i've ever bothered with it during daylight hours, because, you know... I don't have three hours to drive twenty miles.

Received mine on Monday as well. I think they only listed three sites in Mass, where I live, two of which I have traveled. Not bad routes. Many in Vt and New Hampshire that I've traveled. Maps look ok if you're not familiar with the roads. Descriptions seem generic. All in all not bad for free.

Very cool I put my order in as well, always looking for new roads.

Post by: JohnnyDucati on October 02, 2008, 06:01:55 PM
I just got mine.  Can't remember when I ordered it - i think about a month ago.

I liek it.  It's got some great looking routes.

Only drawback I think is that it can only cover the highlights of each state/region, but that's ok, otherwise it'd be thick as a phone book.

Damnit I started this thing, and I'm still waiting!

Oh well, some said it took 4-8 weeks. I expect it anytime.  [coffee]

hankthe8th, thanks for sharing link for the free book, just requested one for myself!  I just hope they are still honoring the requests.  National Geographic books are quite nice actually, just recently bought their travelers guide book for Boston and I am very impressed.  Heck yes I will take a free road guide from them.

I ordered mine several months ago and haven't received it.  Maybe it is some sort of scam where they just want your email so they can sell it.

I got mine... A couple of weeks ago. However, I have already ridden just about every road/route they list in the Pac NW so it's not really that good to me... Oh well; for free, it's a great deal!  [beer]

I think it was sometime in late August when Munch originally posted the link.
So maybe like a month and a half ago?
