Amazing and Unusual USA by Jeff Bahr

A vivid and entertaining coffee table book featuring pictures of some of America's most amazing and unusual roadside attractions and places of interest. As an avid roadside attraction tourist, I keep this book handy and earmark the pages of places we have visited. A great entertainment reference book even if you don't travel and are just curious what weirdness is out there. Tell Lucy the Elephant I said hello.

Weird Virginia: Your Guide to Virginia's Local… by Jeff Bahr

Wide variety of "weird" things discussed. From ghost stories to road side attractions and urban legends and UFO sightings. Was well written over all and covered a variety of topics. Good way to pass some time if you just are looking for something to read.
