Editorial Reviews
Review
Texas Towns: From Abner to Zipperlandville travels off the beaten track and takes readers with it. It’s fun. It’s informative. — Judy Morgan The Daily Sentinel Texas Towns from Abner to Zipperlandville What’s in a name? Don Blevins answers exactly that question in this book, where the truth comes out about the peculiar names of towns that decorate the Lone Star State. Houston Tribune The way Blevins is so attracted to the towns makes it seem almost as if they were named just for him to research. And the result is a page-turning, share-with-your-friends book that shouldn’t leave your car. You’d better buy a copy for the house too! — Tiffany Synder San Marcos Record This is an excellent book to keep in the glove compartment furing family road trips in Texas. The Dallas Morning News
