My boyfriend Paul and I used this book a lot on our California road trip. It was more interesting as a folk lore trivia book than a travel guide. Even then not that interesting (like, Fry's electronic stores? Seriously?). Maybe if it was still the 90s, and I was still into the x-files. (

I was surprised by how much I didn't know about the state I have lived in for more than 40 years. I thought it was very interesting, lots of nice pictures and seems no matter where you live in California there is something weird close by! (

Book description

GET WEIRD!

“Best Travel Series of The Year 2006”—Booklist

What’s weird around here? Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman asked themselves this question for years. And it’s precisely this offbeat sense of curiosity that led the duo to create Weird N.J. and the successful series that followed. The NOT shockingly result? Every Weird book has become a best seller in its region!

((Series Sales Points))

This best-selling series has sold more than one million copies…and counting

Thirty volumes of the Weird series have been published to great success since Weird New Jersey's 2003 debut
