| The Bradt Guide To All That's Weird And Wacky In The USA.
The biggest, the best, the boldest, the brashest-America often seems larger than life!
In this offbeat look at the USA, Jan Friedman celebrates the irrepressible sense of the absurd that leads apparently ordinary people to turn their backs on convention and let their inventiveness run amok. An entertaining guide to almost a thousand festivals and events, attractions, tours, shopping, restaurants, hotels and eccentric environments, ECCENTRIC AMERICA brings you the bizarre festivals, the amazing museums and the wacky characters that populate the fringes of mainstream tourism. In fact, just about the only things that are normal about this travel guide are the boring things like websites and directions. SO head for somewhere seriously weird and join the fun!
The second edition of this award-winning book has been thoroughly updated, with 330 totally new entries, regional calendars of wacky festivals and events, and an intriguing 'Height of Eccentricity' map of the United States. An entertaining and funny read, it's also a comprehensive guide to a side of American culture you won't want to miss. |
