On the Road

For a bibliophile like me, you may be surprised by one of my "go to" books.

Roadside America.

A collection of zany, kitschy, one-of-a-kind attractions, this is a must have for any traveler. Stuffed into its voluminous pages are both the ridiculous and the sublime. Want to know where the nearest matzo factory is? Roadside has it covered. Musing on the location of the biggest ketchup bottle? The coordinates are just a page turn away. Looking for a statue of Paul Bunyan, dying to see the Corn Cob Palace, have a secret interest in taxidermy or haunted houses? It's in there. 

Sorted by state, town, and a five-point rating scale labeled "Worth a Detour," Roadside America is the gift that keeps on giving.
