Great read, but as others have said, not a reference book. Vince Staten and I share a love of a writer I won't mention ('cause it's a bit of a surprise), and his style is similar. I've actually been _in_ one drugstore he mentions in another book, and spent some time near his hometown. Biased? Yeah.... My only real complaint - some of the stranger tools mentioned might have benefited by pictures or sketches. While I only found a few things that I didn't at least know something about, I'm sure not every reader is going to have seen some of this stuff.
