THIS IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDEBOOK
TO EXPLORING KANSAS THAT YOU'LL EVER OWN!

Author Marci Penner made it her personal commitment to visit every one of the 627 incorporated towns and cities in Kansas, plus dozens of unincorporated towns and a handful of ghost towns. She spent several years traveling 40,124 miles and in October 2005 the book made its debut.

The Kansas Guidebook for Explorers is a celebration of Kansas, especially the rural culture of the state. You'll find no franchise businesses listed here. What you will discover are 3,597 entries about the best home cooking (672 restaurants are listed), most beautiful scenery, intriguing history, heartwarming customs, unusual architecture, finest art, and the most fascinating people you'd care to meet. Marci teaches you how to see Kansas "with new eyes." There are 400 color photos throughout the book.

Whether you're looking for a day trip, a long vacation, or just want to travel from your armchair, The Kansas Guidebook for Explorers is a priceless resource. Like Marci, you will find the interesting, the unusual, and the unexpected in 500 towns, both large and small.

This book is the Kansas travel guide with a heart. Marci hopes you'll discover how much your visit can help make or break many of these enterprises. They will survive to benefit the entire community when you care enough to stop.
