YES!!!! I was quoted
 
I received an email from Fodors telling me I was quoted in the 2009 Arizona & Grand Canyon guide.

I wonder what they used?

I'll have to check it out.

If you email Katie she will tell you. She got back to me pretty quickly and sent me my quote.

Myer Dec 20th, 2008 06:54 AM

Good idea. Thanks.

So was I for San Diego. I was just on my way to B&N to buy the 2009 DC guidebook. Guess I will just have to wait for the free one now!!!

I was quite surprised to find out I was quoted on O'ahu. I didn't occur to me to ask Katie what the quote is. Guess I'll just wait til I get my copy of the book.

I was surprised and excited when I got the email from katie. I went ahead and ordered my complimentary copy of Kauai 2nd edition. I was quoted three times! What a cool memento to have of my favorite place on earth.

I was quoted for the Chicago 2009 guide. Katie replied to my reply, but didn't tell me my quote..I like anticipation anyway, so I'll find out when I get my guide in the mail!

I was quoted in the Alaska 2009 guide. I'll have to ask Katie what my quote was.

McAllister Dec 30th, 2008 11:25 AM

I was quoted as well (Washington, D.C. 2009)...I couldn't wait to get it in the mail (actually, it was just delivered a few minutes ago) and was the crazy person at the bookstore looking for my quote! :)

LOL

I was quoted in the Peru guide and Katie got back to me really quickly telling me what the quote was. I was so excited! It's so cool for those of us who were quoted, but also for the guides because it adds a perspective from regular travelers who have visited the place. I love the Fodor's forums!

I was quoted in the San Francisco 2009 guide. However, I only just replied to the email and am not sure if I can still get a complimentary copy. Might have to buy it. Pretty cool, though!

dolciani Jan 4th, 2009 05:29 AM

I, too, got an email that indicated that I was quoted and so I ordered the DC book. Who is Katie and how do I find my quote?

schmerl Jan 4th, 2009 07:34 AM

Katie is one of the editors. She is the one who sent me my email. Just reply to ther email and ask her what your quote is. She got back to me in a couple days.

althom1122 Jan 4th, 2009 07:34 AM

Katie is the manager of these forums. When you respond to her email requesting which guidebook you want, ask her how you were quoted and she'll probably get back to you pretty quickly.
My quote was from the trip report I posted on the Latin America board about our Peru vacation.

schmerl Jan 4th, 2009 07:35 AM

That should have said Katie is one of the EDITORS.

marleneawe Jan 4th, 2009 08:08 AM

Well I was not quoted but I was one of the photo winners, so my winning photo is in the 2009 Alaska book. Also in the back my name under the credits. My children said to be sure and not throw it away. Never entered before, and was so thrilled that the photo is in the book. I have showed everyone.

Krissie Jan 4th, 2009 09:14 AM

I got one in the American Southwest guide - how wonderful! My book arrived a couple of days ago and as soon as I catch up after Christmas I shall be sitting down and having a really good read. Thank you Fodors - i really feel part of it all now.

emd Jan 4th, 2009 09:26 AM

I was quoated in the Japan book and I as sent a copy of any guide I wanted- I got a Mexico fodors book.

artlover Jan 12th, 2009 03:02 PM

I was quoted in the 2009 Spain book.

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE FODORS!!!

annesherrod Jan 12th, 2009 03:31 PM

I was also quoted in the Chicago 2009 book. I am somebody!!!

xrae Jan 12th, 2009 05:44 PM

I was quoted in the upcoming 2009 Florida book. >happy dance< For my gift I picked their big England guide, as we are hoping to visit there next year. But I'll probably buy the Florida book too.

Myer Jan 14th, 2009 09:50 AM

Do you choose the book you were quoted in to show off or one that will help for an trip being planned?

What problems.

Snowflake25 Jan 15th, 2009 06:44 AM

I was quoted in the San Diego 2009 guide. I have already received my free guide. I chose a book that will help with the trip to Europe we are planning. (But really, as good as the guidebooks are, there is nothing better than this forum!!!!)

SAnParis2 Jan 15th, 2009 06:51 AM

1st time I took the book that I was quoted in (+ I needed a new one anyway), next time, I went w/another one.

Katie_H Jan 15th, 2009 12:31 PM

I can certainly let folks know their quotes when they write in. I haven't been sending them out upfront because it's time consuming and some people like to be surprised. I certainly don't mind letting you know though. If you're torn just ask and I'll let you know.

luvtravl Jan 17th, 2009 10:46 AM

Hi Katie! I was quoted in the Florida guide. Would love to know my quote. Thanks! Elise
