How to be a Hollywood Tour Guide in North Carolina
By A
How a heap of times have your out-of-town visitors whined: “Take us to the waterfall in The Last of the Mohicans (1997), or the train wreck in The Fugitive (1993)? Why doesn’t an individual come out with a North Carolina travel guide that spotlights our Hollywood connections?
Cue the applause meter-Film Junkie’s Guide to North Carolina has at long last arrived. The 430-page glove-compartment-sized winner is comprehensive (160 mountain-to-sea locations!), masterfully written (a perfective mix of scholarly clear or deep perception and insider gossip), and beautifully laid out in a simple reader-friendly format, full of photos, maps, sidebars, and sufficient movie trivia to make you want to read the book from cover to cover even if you’re a stay-at-home couch potato. And bargain-priced at $16.95, even film students may afford it.
Guide is divided into three geographic areas: The Coast, Piedmont, and The Mountains. “Locations” in each area list the places where films and TV shows were shot, including great maps on how to get there. “Star Tracks” list the restaurants, stores, hotels and other places where celebrities used to hang out, or they still do.
Keep a copy of the book in the glove compartment of your car for spontaneous tourist adventures.

Thank you!
By Old Books
We commend this book to any film fan living in or visiting NC! Add another dimension to the streets you see. As an NC bookseller we have yet to find a better researched, more user-friendly or more helpful guide. Thank you both!
