Two fun state-by-state coverages of offbeat and unusual destination choices by travel guide expert Andrew F. Wood will appeal to vacationers seeking something truly different. Road Trip America (188-8054743, $14.95) celebrates unusual roadside attractions across the country, from the bizarre Unusual Collections and Miniature Towns of Louisiana which houses a 22-foot 'bassigator' to a bed and breakfast located in a tree house in Oregon. Motel America: A State-By-State Tour Guide To Nostalgic Stopvers (1888054913, $14.95) features old-time classic hotels from America's nearly-forgotten years. Colorful ads and contemporary color photos blend with whimsical descriptions of motel attributes and owner personalities. Both are fun collections of pieces of yesterday which have been caught in a time warp, to be presented to modern travelers.
