	Weird California: Your Travel Guide to California's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets What's weird around here? That's a question Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman have enjoyed asking for years, and their offbeat sense of curiosity led them to create the best-selling phenomenon, Weird N.J. But why should they stop at New Jersey when there's so much that's peculiar, odd, and utterly nutty across the whole U.S.? So the two Marks, along with several other writers with a taste for the strange, have focused on some key locales, giving each of them the full "New Jersey" treatment. Spanning the breadth of the country, from New York to California, these are travel guides of a sort, but to the kind of places voyagers will never find on their everyday maps. Instead, they're chock-full of local legends, crazy characters, cursed roads, and bizarre roadside attractions. So come along and join the fun: Some of what's out there is disturbing, some hilarious, but all of it is unforgettably weird. PRICE: $19.95
