A bit disjointed, though. Some chapters are a bit long (24-30 pages), while others very short (4-10 pages). Transitions from one topic to another are not always obvious or clear. Overbalanced toward upstate New York attractions. Text is more allegorical and guess work, rather than historically researched and documented.
That said, however, it's a book by a photographer, not a historian. And it does contain some lovely images of quirky place from the West Coast, Midwest, Southeast, the South, and Northeast. ( )
