Featuring odd and interesting people, places, and events on the American fringes, this guide describes such wonders as a house in Austin, Texas, garlanded with 18 years' worth of beer can pull tabs and labels; Portland, Oregon's Vacuum Cleaner Museum; and the remains of Jumbo the Elephant, housed at Tufts U. in Medford, Massachusetts. For each state (minus Alaska and Hawaii), entries are organized into categories such as attractions, museums and collections, festivals and events, shopping, quirky cuisine and quarters, and "just plain weird." Illustrated with cartoons and several plates of color photos. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
