Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This is the funniest book on Texas and Texans I’ve ever read
Helen Bryant sure knows us! She has used a reporters eye, and a sharp wit to poke gentle fun at the strange and wonderful ways of our fine fellow Texans. It’s hilarious, whether you’ve lived here forever, or just got here yesterday. I’m very proud of this delightful book!
