Product Description
With camera in hand and a penchant for the unexpected, Gladstone captures a photographic portrait of small towns with unusual names and the folks who keep them on the map with their offbeat civic pride. Find the bar in Goofy Ridge, Illinois; stop in at the mechanics shop in Nothing, Arizona; listen to the colourful stories from the locals of Boogertown, North Carolina. This title is full of myths, legends and laughs.

This is a good book. I live in Finger, TN (Should have been in the book too! LOL ), which is near Sweetlips TN. I used to tell people I live between Finger and Sweetlips and they would laugh.
This is my grandpa in the picture for Sweetlips. We didn't believe him at first when he said he was going to be in a book. And it is still funny to see his pic here. They also used it on VH1 best year ever. We all got a laugh out of that.
Seeing all the towns in this book makes me want to visit them all.
Gas is worth it to see small town USA and you'll feel good! January 23, 2006

This book is rated G for "good fun" because the complete title is "Passing Gas and other Towns along the American Highway." I have a dream of one day getting on my fantasy American built Indian or Knucklehead motorcycle and seeing our beautiful Country. Gary Gladstone gives me a vicarous peek without leaving NYC and he makes me giggle too. Anything to do with "gas" humor can send me into giggle spasms but Gary's book is tame with rich color pictures of small towns with the funniest names and sweet humble stories that accompany the pictures. My favorites are, "Gas, Kansas","Boogertown" and "Scream", Alamba" ,"Rough and Ready,PA" "Romance, Arkansas" and there are so many more colorful names.
This book is a great gift for any friends that need some cheering up. It is quietly humorous, tame, fun and pleasurable for those that would like to either see more of Our Country or enjoy the characters as much as the countryside that make America truly rich!
