Weird U.S.: Your Travel Guide To America's Local Legends And Best Kept Secrets

This is fun and interesting!

Loved this book when I found it in a Hollywood gift-shop, but was just too pricey. Of course found it on Amazon. Book in new condition & shipped super fast. Very pleaesed. This is a eally unique book of oddities if you travel around the U.S.

One can learn a lot of USA culture through curious mysteries. Very entertaining !!

This has been such an interesting book to read. It is fascinating and great to read all the way through or in pieces. I love to read little tid-bits to my husband just to see his reaction. I bought the book before we took a trip and it proved to be most useful in finding some unique places to visit. It makes me want to travel the U.S. just to see all the places mentioned by Mark Moran. He did a super, super job with this one.

I have had my copy for number of years and recently gifted a new book to A recent retiree who is looking forward to traveling in the United States. The gift was well received and plans are underway to visit some of the interesting sites.

I love this book, and can scroll through it for hours. It is well organized and presented. The book is mostly made up from contributions from readers hailing from every nook and cranny of the U.S.A., even Puerto Rico! There are some strange stories and people presented herein. Documented true stories of grisly murders, sightings of lights in the sky, and cryptozooilogical beasts. I only have two complaints concerning this anthology of the odd. First, I wish it had more pictures. Second, I wish it was longer! I've read through it several times now. A lot of people have complained that this is not a "roadmap" to various eccentric sites across our fruited plains... but in these days of the internet... why waste the space in this book? I was able to look up many of the locations that appear in the book. I consider this a non-issue. I need to get some more of the individual "Weird" books, which focus on individual states. Unfortunatley for me, "Weird Pennsylvania" focuses almost entirely on eastern PA. A lot of people have pointed this out.

Great book

The Weird US series and the newer "state-level" books provide a great overview of those unusual things I enjoy. It's a combination of roadside oddities, ghost stories, and little known history. This book gives you a trip around the country. No they didn't hit everything and sometimes they had to "rush" past something, but its a great starter course. The "hints" they get from others about places to visit and the stories are great too. If you enjoy this book, you'll love the other books in the series which give more details on specific states (written by different authors) and the 2nd book in US series.
