About this title

Review

"A breezy account of [Geist's] travels off the beaten, and sometimes left-for-dead, paths."
--"New York Times Book Review
"
"Wise and funny."
--"Chicago Sun Times
"
"Geist genuinely delights in his finds, and readers will, too."
"--Library Journal
"
"Driving around the country through the eyes and words of Geist is precious. Clearly, Kuralt didn't locate "all" the strange things."
--"Deseret Morning News
"
