5.0 out of 5 stars Written for Comfort not for Speed, February 11, 1999

By A Customer

This is an very enjoyable book about what most of us would really love to do - slowly travel around America well off the beaten track of the Interstate Highways. Mr Eyrich has a charming way of describing the interesting people and places he encounters usually with humorous pictures attached. It is both a valuable reflection on the off-track America most of miss in our journeys on airplanes as well as an excellent guide for all travelers looking for something not found in the typical tour book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny!, November 13, 2003

By	Jason S. Kerman (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mr. Loren Eyrich has a true Masterpiece here. He has compiled, as the title says, "Silly Signs and Offbeat Stuff from America's 2-Lane Roads." From his travels across America, he has photos of funny signs from virtually everywhere! One of my favorites is from Tarpon Springs, FL where someone is selling Sponges and a sign reads: "Please Pay Sponge Inside" and Mr. Eyrich writes: "Hey, that's not a very nice comment about your cashier!" :D ;)
Near the end of the book, Mr. Eyrich also provides readers with valuable information on how to take their own funny photos.
If you're looking for a good laugh, but this book!!
