Nice tight copy, no names inside, cover artwork by David Cook. ; B&W Illustrations; 400 pages; A humourous look at America and its people. Bill Bryson has the rare knack of being out of his depth wherever he goes - even (perhaps especially) in the land of his birth.

Having left as a youth and returning in middle age it was like awakening from a coma, so many things he took for granted had changed. .

Summary

The phenomenal bestseller from the author of Notes From a Small Island.From perfectly formed potatoes to adulterous US presidents, and from domestic upsets to millennial fever, Bill Bryson just cannot resist airing his opinions and standing up for his (mostly) law-abiding fellow American citizens. But of course after twenty years in England, he is now back on the other side of the pond, and is obviously having a little trouble finding his true American self again.After vigorous exercise on the Appalachian Trail comes this edited collection of Bryson's most splenetic comic pieces culled from his humorous regular column in the Mail on Sunday.
