Title: If I ever head to Nome, this book will go with!
Review: I loved this book -- before opening it, I knew very little about Alaska. Now, I know more than I could ever need, unless I got caught in the Iditarod and needed something to eat (Spam doesn't freeze).I liked the book's format, broken down alphabetically by subject -- Agriculture, Baidarka, Cabin Fever, etc -- and I especially loved Mr. Whitekeys, originator of the infamous "Whale Fat Follies", and his bits of whimsy. For example, did you know....Alaskans rank no. 1 in the consumption of ice cream and no. 2 in the per capita consumption of SPAM?Books like these contain a lot of infomration packaged in a very clever format...good concept, great fun!Enjoy!
