The Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, and the wide-open desert may stand out as
prominent Southwest features, but this region is also home to bizarre
places, personalities, events, and phenomena. These unique and quirky
aspects are humorously displayed in Southwest Curiosities, a cross
between a wacky news gazette, an almanac, and a humorous travel guide.
Amusing stories and unique black and white photographs make this the
perfect read for travelers, residents, and anyone interested in
adventure and a good laugh. Southwest Curiosities is part of a GPP
homegrown series of state-specific books that describe, with humor and
affection-and a healthy dose of attitude-the oddest, quirkiest, and most
outlandish places, personalities, events, and phenomena found within the
state's borders and in the chronicles of its history. The series
provides a fun and accessible read for travelers and non travelers
alike-a great armchair book with quirky black and white photographs
throughout and maps for each region.
