Perfect Travel Guide and Gift,
By Jeannie P. (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amazing Texas: Fascinating Facts, Entertaining Tales, Bizarre Happenings, and Historical Oddities About the Lone Star State (Amazing America) (Paperback)
I learned more about Texas in 4 hours of reading this book than I have living in Texas for 40 years. It makes a great gift for any occasion. We put it with our other "coffee table" books and our guests always start reading it. Lots of fun for kids of all ages!
