This book is aptly named. Experience the kitchen o'Kewpies, smiley face room, lego city, and the monster room. These have to be seen to be believed.

The New Roadside America:
The Modern Traveler's Guide to the Wild and Wonderful America's Tourist Attractions
Doug Kirby, Ken Smith, Mike Wilkins

Very informative, but more importantly, the short chunks of text make for convenient, entertaining bathroom reading.

Discriminating travelers will appreciate the coast-to-coast Elvis and Atomic Tours. Those on tight budgets will find the research invaluable: who really has the World's Largest Peanut? What are America's Naughtiest Souvenirs? Which concrete dinosaurs are the best?
