Soft back

"When an old friend asked him to write a weekly dispatch form New Hampshirefor the 'Mail on Sunday's Night and Day' magazine, Bill Bryson firmly turned him down. So firm was he, in fact, that gathered here are nineteen months' worth of his popular columns for the 'Mail on Sunday' about the strangest of phenomena - the American way of life. Whether discussing the dazzling efficiency of the garbage disposal unit, the mind boggling plethora of methods by which to shop, the exoticism of having your own groceries bagged for you, or the jaw-slackening banality of American TV, Bill Bryson brings his inimitable brand of bemused wit to bear on the worlds richest and craziest country."

Good condition. The cover has been laminated. Few very small tears and blemishes inside the front and back cover.
