...is a travel book, but only just; it pays little heed to the respectful habits of the genre, opting for a contemptuous curiosity... Anthony Lane, Independent)

RELEASE NOTES:

One of those books I've be meaning to get for ages, picked this up at today's Book Crossing meet up at Caffe Nero. Attended by over 20 Book Crossers it was a great event that got people talking and reclaiming Caffe Nero for the people!

I thought this could be entertaining when I saw it released in Caffe Nero, Worthing at our Book Crossing jamboree a couple of weeks back. I forgot though that it was *American* humour (apart from the West Wing, what else have they produced, eh?) and the string of racist stereotypes (last seen on this sleepy shores some years back on Saturday night comedy shows) were just ... well, not even offensive ... just dull.

I'll be releasing this as the second in my 'themed releases' series - 'Holidays In Hell' will be released outside Brighton's Bargain Travel Bureau tomorrow.
