New Jersey Curiosities: Second Edition

Author: Peter Genovese
Stars: 4
Review by: MandyApgar

Cute. Arranged by location (northwest, northeast, etc. - Hunterdon is in the central portion) it contains roadside oddities and related points of interest. "Interest" being an odd way to look at things though, as at times I had to wonder why on Earth he wanted another diner in the book. He brings up the cockroach derby, tells one where to see the electric chair that executed Bruno Hauptmann, things like that. I do know however, from reading about these things frequently, that some of these places are no longer available, so this is not the sort of book that one should use as a travel guide.
