From Library Journal:
This book describes in an easy, chatty style the knockabout adventures of an Englishman wandering through Texas in a rented car. It is by no means an ordinary travel guide. At the end, one realizes that one has learned a good deal more about the true flavor of the land, the strengths and weaknesses of the people, than could be extracted from a dozen books of travel. Texas springs out of the pages as something at once primitive and progressivea huge canvas daubed with strong colors. Livestock auctions and beauty pageants; homecoming parades and chili cook-offs; Stetson hats and snakeskin boots; politicians and performers: the whole glittering panorama is presented without censure and without commendation. A delightful potpourri of facts and impressions, entertaining and instructive. A.J. Anderson, Graduate Sch. of Library & Information Science, Simmons Coll., Boston

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 283 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm. ; red cloth-backed blue boards with silver lettering ; dj in mylar. Anybody can spot a Texan a mile off: the Stetson hat, massive belt buckle, snakeskin boots, pot belly, loud drawl, and the pickup truck with a rifle rack and a case of Lone Star in the back. And, of course, a million or two in the bank, topped off regularly by royalties from oil. That's the image--but is it really so? Stephen Brook drove around Texas and found the stereotype confirmed. But he found much more: Texas has a conspicuous culture of its own. Some people love it, others hate it, but it's unquestionably alive and kicking. Seller Inventory # 002627
