IF I were to travel this would be the sort of guide book I'd take along: Bored in the USA: a Field Guide to Best-ish Stuff in America. There are no authors to credit, and I did note a few errors, but overall I quite enjoyed this ... enough so that I sat with my tablet at hand to look up some of the places mentioned! (Warning, at the moment there is just one review, a poor one, on amazon. Personally it sounded as if that person wanted a more traditional guide book ... just my take, though). It's full of oddities and fun facts such as the future birthplace of Captain Kirk, a matchstick museum (amazing), the diving lady neon sign, the one state that has more hogs than people ... one state really is flatter than a pancake (there was a study) ... a signpost in Maine includes Norway, Naples, Peru and others which are all cities in that state! Nebraska, land locked, has a navy. (In1931 the lieutenant governor wanted to gift friends with meaningless government titles). There is the neon sign graveyard, the toilet paper hero of Hoover dam, and a grave yard for ice cream flavors. One state has an official question. There are also more traditional entries for parks and museums. Made me chuckle! ;-)
