101 Places Not to See Before You Die by Catherine Price
From the Grover Cleveland Service Area to the Beijing Museum of Tap Water to Euro Disney, this title brings you some of the unforgettable tales of the most ill-conceived museums, worst theme parks, and the grossest Superfund sites.
"This clever collection of travel advisories lists all the places that are definitely not worth a trip, including a rendering plant, Times Square on New Year's Eve, and, bien sur, Euro Disney" -- Entertainment Weekly "Price's delightful work is utterly hilarious." -- Arthur Frommer "Weird and funny." -- The Washington Post "Funny and engaging." -- USA Today "A hilarious look at some of the most uninviting, overcrowded, unsanitary, overhyped, and stomach-churning locales on the planet." -- Budget Travel "Amusing." -- The San Francisco Chronicle "Price is a delightful writer who manages to give readers more giggles in under-two-page entries than many writers could in an entire chapter... Highly recommended." -- Library Journal "101 Places Not to See Before You Die takes a fascinating and hilarious look at some of the least appealing places and events on the planet-from Montana's Testicle Festival to the Amsterdam Sexmuseum-and explains in lucid terms just what you'll be missing out on." -- Salon
