But why should they stop at New Jersey when there’s so much that’s strange, odd, and utterly nutty all across the U.S.? So they’ve expanded their universe, taken their act on the road, and found stories of weirdness in every state in the nation. The result is a travel guide of sorts, but to the kind of places voyagers will never find on their everyday maps. Instead, it’s chock full of the local legends, crazy characters, cursed roads, abandoned sites, and bizarre roadside attractions. So come along and visit such unique spots as Midgetville, explore long-empty insane asylums, and go through forgotten tunnels—but keep in mind that the maniacal Bunnyman just might be hiding out in one of them. Some of what’s out there is disturbing, some of it's hilarious, but all of it is unforgettably…weird.</div></div>]]> 210154 4.09 327 52 2004 987826 076073979X 9780760739792 7 <![CDATA[Weird N.J.: Your Travel Guide to New Jersey's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180024356m/987826.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180024356s/987826.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/987826.Weird_N_J_Your_Travel_Guide_to_New_Jersey_s_Local_Legends_and_Best_Kept_Secrets 4.19 95 </div>]]> 210154 4.09 327 52 422445 4.11 240 34 2003 962740 1402739419 9781402739415 7 <![CDATA[Weird N.J., Vol. 2: Your Travel Guide to New Jersey's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179846641m/962740.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179846641s/962740.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/962740.Weird_N_J_Vol_2_Your_Travel_Guide_to_New_Jersey_s_Local_Legends_and_Best_Kept_Secrets 4.28 46 New Jersey is even WEIRDER than we thought!
From the authors of Weird N.J.—with more than 125,000 copies sold—comes a second amazing collection of the wonderful weirdness that fills every inch of the Garden State.</div><div> </div></div><div><div>One of the bestselling books ever to hit New Jersey was Mark Sceurman and Mark Moran’s Weird N.J. The book was such a phenomenon that it began a whole series of Weird state books, each one a bestseller. But the Marks, as they are called, always knew that there were more, bizarre stories lurking in their own home state. So back they went, camera and notebook in hand, to travel the highways and byways of New Jersey to chronicle more weirdly bizarre stories. And what did they find? How about the pathway of a doctor’s office paved with tombstones? Or a pumpkin-shaped house? Then there’s the Hub Cap Tree, the Birdsville Church (yes, a church for birds), and the bowling ball pyramid that graces one proud resident’s front lawn. Fun too are the haunted houses to visit, the ghosts to chat with, and the cursed roads to travel down. It’s all part of the long, strange trip known as Weird N.J.</div></div></div>]]> 210154 4.09 327 52 422445 4.11 240 34 2006 7149421 1402766874 9781402766879 0 <![CDATA[Weird Texas]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7149421-weird-texas 0.0 0 Weird Texas:</P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">“If your taste extends to the odd side of traveling, [this is your ticket].”   —Booklist</P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">“…lives up to its promise of providing an overview of weird things found in Texas.”  </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">                                                                                                   —Austin American Statesman</P></DIV></DIV>]]> 327576 4.02 46 14 327575 0.0 0 0 327574 0.0 0 0 210154 4.09 327 52 422445 4.11 240 34 2005 5098552 1402766866 9781402766862 2 <![CDATA[Weird Pennsylvania]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5098552.Weird_Pennsylvania 3.94 18 Weird Pennsylvania:</P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">“Fun, amazing, and arrestingly illustrated.”  —Booklist</P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">“…a real fine read and can serve as a travel guide for a trek among the unusual, odd and scary parts of our “weird” state.”  —Pennsylvania Magazine</P></DIV>]]> 88523 3.94 106 20 210154 4.09 327 52 422445 4.11 240 34 2009 1624519 1402733887 9781402733888 5 <![CDATA[Weird Georgia]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186025297m/1624519.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186025297s/1624519.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1624519.Weird_Georgia 4.06 17 422445 4.11 240 34 210154 4.09 327 52 2006 6405194 1402766858 9781402766855 4 <![CDATA[Weird N.J.: Your Travel Guide to New Jersey's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/64/194/6405194-m-1255656355.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/64/194/6405194-s-1255656355.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6405194-weird-n-j 4.25 16 Weird N.J.:</P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">“They are the chroniclers of the creepy, bards of the bizarre… Mr. Sceurman and Mr. Moran have created a journal of New Jersey’s unwritten history.” —The New York Times</P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">“Enough with the head-severing mobsters of Jersey.
