Weird US
(Not Your Typical Travel Guide)
No one can tell you everything you need (or secretly want) to know about a city and state before you visit it. Where is there a shoe house in the US? Why was the Count Carl van Cosel an "eccentric" man while he lived in Key West, Florida? Books like Weird US: Your Travel Guide to America's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets, by Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman, answer these questions (on pages 201 & 286, respectively) and more by filling the void regular travel guides leave out.
With over 1.1 million copies sold in the entire Weird series, you can't go wrong with what Booklist calls, "Best travel series of the year 2006" and Newsday declares, "This is the stuff you wished you learned in school. (Or maybe you did, but you weren't allowed to talk about it in class.)"
An impressive hardcover United States Coffee Table book with 352 pages of interesting and funny local legends and facts, it makes a great gift for yourself or someone you love.
This 352 page book measures 9½" x 9¼" x 1¼"
