Journey to the Center of Weirdness
Nevada is one weird place, and Joe Oesterle and Tim Crindland take a creative approach to unearthing the true weirdness of this majestic state. I especially liked the "Bizarre Beasts" section with its entry on the Wahoo--one of America's most underrated mythical monsters. Did I just write that?

Huge thanks to the authors, as well, for the mention of my novel Operation EMU in the "Local Legends" section.

Fun, but nothing new
A fun book, but doesn't really share anything new.Most of what is written about in this book is already available just about everywhere else.Not much to surprise here, either.Neon sign museum in Las Vegas?Who would have thunk it?You could get the same information for free from the state tourism guides.

Very Weird?
This book is a must if you visited or live in Las Vegas.There are many places off the beaten path (like the Pinball Hall of Fame).If like to visit place that are less travel (not your typical tourist trap) than this is your book.Buy this book is worth every dollar!!!!!
