Southern California Curiosities
by Saul Rubin

From the Curiosities series.

Southern California Curiosities is your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the lower half of the Golden State has to offer. Humorist and veteran journalist Saul Rubin has traveled way off Southern California's beaten path for one-of-a-kind gems that make his home turf truly unique.

You'll meet the world's loudest finger snapper, a man who teaches etiquette to camels, and a couple who built a house that spins.

You'll discover the best places to eat raisin-sweet-potato pie, drink a date shake, or sample strawberry nachos and pizza.

You'll tour an egg collection, a house of trash, and a burlesque museum featuring Gypsy Rose Lee's glove collection, Sally Rand's ivory-handled fans, and costumes from the likes of Blaze Starr, Lili St. Cyr, and Chesty Morgan.

Whether you were born and raised in Southern California or are a recent transplant, Saul Rubin's home-grown humor will have you laughing out loud as he introduces you to the neighbors you never knew you had and takes you to places you never knew existed - right in your own backyard.
