Midwest Book Review
Know More, Spend Less: A Native's Guide To Chicago offers offbeat suggestions side-by-side with more convention sightseeing information. Sharon Woodhouse provides insider information that only a well-traveled resident could dig up. Know More, Spend Less is a look at the Windy City well beyond the standards of ordinary tourist guides with its listing of hundreds of free and inexpensive things to do and see off the "beaten path" of most tourist travel groups or itineraries. Know More, Spend Less also encourages people watching at the airport, gives practical advice on public transportation, takes jaunts to historic cemeteries, hidden waterfalls, and the city council chambers. Know More, Spend Less is a "midwest traveler's must have"!

Reader Reviews
This is by far the best guide that I've seen for Chicago. I've lived in the city for the last 20 years and use the book myself for some new ideas and bargain hunting suggestions. I recently handed the book to some friends who visited from the UK and they found it very informative and extremely helpful. Highly recommended!! Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
