 convenient, but nothing newMay 12, 2009
This is nice for toting around and obtaining little interesting tidbits of information to read while traveling, but anyone internet-literate can find the actual attractions in this book in a fairly short amount of time.

Alabama CuriositiesFeb 18, 2006
A "Can't Put It Down" kind of book. Gave one as a gift and it almost broke up that marriage! Lots of facinating stuff. A great investment. Be ready to get hooked.

 YES, THEY ARE TRUE...AND WE'RE PROUD OF IT!Mar 02, 2005
This book is just a killer compilation of qirky stuff in Alabama, stuff I didnt even know! and i've been here for 33 years. Screw those 'Off the Beaten Path Books' just go for the roadside oddities books instead.
