I need some advice, my friends! How do I handle a book that starts in New Orleans, moves to Los Angeles, and then to Las Vegas? Can I use one book for three states?

Don't see why not!!

Janet make a lot of good sense. But my code is to assign a book to the one that makes the most sense in terms of setting. If that is in doubt, I go with the one state that would help be the most.What is the book?

The book is Neon Prey by John Sandford. For now, I've recorded it for Nevada. I may change my mind in December. lol
