I've seen quite a few postings asking for info about Bed & Breakfast
places in this or that location in the US. I just thought I would mention 
that you may well find a lot more info, especially for a preliminary
check of an area (which you can then follow-up with a net query if you
want) in your local public library. My wife has been interested in
checking out North Carolina for evetual retirement living, and had a good
experience staying at a Bed & Breakfast place in Asheville with her 
sister on a trip last year. (Flint Street Inn, if you care...)

Anyway, in preparation for her next trip, I took a look at the 
open-shelved books in the St. Louis Public Library, and found at least ten
guides to Bed & Breakfast places that included that region; some were
admittedly a couple years or more old, but quite a few were 1984 copyright,
and I think one 1985. This isn't a particularily richly-funded library system,
so if I can find such an assortment here, you should be able to find a
reasonable assortment of such books in your own locality's public libraries.

This is in addition to the usual travel guide books, guidebooks, etc.
