Publisher's Synopsis
STRONG SALES. Compass North Carolina is one of our best-selling Compass titles, selling 21,000 copies of the previous edition. STRONG TOURISM OUTLOOK. Visitor numbers reached 49 million in 2004, making North Carolina the eighth most-visited state in the U.S. All the top visitor activities--shopping, going to beaches and parklands, visiting historical sights---are covered in-depth in this edition of Compass North Carolina. LIMITED COMPETITION. While there are some photography books on the state, they tend to be large, coffee table books. Most other travel guidebooks don't include photos or don't cover the entire state.
