Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book covers weird fads hidden in American history ranging from troll dolls to pet rocks and even goldfish swallowing. Full-color photographs introduce readers to one of America's earliest fads--drawing panoramas of towns--as well as some of the weirder phenomena like flagpole sitting or dance contests. |
