About this product
Product Information
A New York Times bestseller-a brilliantly funny exploration of the Sunshine State from the man who knows it best- Pulitzer Prize winner Dave Barry. We never know what will happen next in Florida. We know only that, any minute now, something will. Every few months, Dave Barry gets a call from some media person wanting to know, "What the hell is wrong with Florida?" Somehow, the state's acquired an image as a subtropical festival of stupid, and as a loyal Floridian, Dave begs to differ. Join him as he goes in hunt of the legendary Skunk Ape; hobnobs with the mermaids of Weeki Wachee Springs; and visits Cassadaga, the psychic capital of the world, to have his dog's aura read (apparently, she's "very spiritual"). Hitch a ride for the non-stop thrills of alligator-wrestling ("the gators display the same fighting spirit as a Barcalounger"), the hair-raising spectacle of a clothing-optional bar in Key West, and the manly manliness of the Machine Gun Experience in Miami. It's the most hilarious book yet from "the funniest damn writer in the whole country" (Carl Hiaasen, and he should know). By the end, you'll have to admit that whatever else you might think about Florida-you can never say it's boring.

Praise for Best. State. Ever. "A side-splitting read. With a guffaw on every page, a wealth of detail and a cocktail of irreverence, you might call Barry's look at Florida a tour de farce. But you'd be wrong. "Best. State. Ever." represents a loving and ribald look at a weird and wonderful place." -- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Whether it's the invsive wildlife or the annual snowbird migration, plenty of folks have disparaged Florida over the years. But leave it to Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist and longtime resident Dave Barry to pen a proper ode." -- Garden and Gun Praise for Dave Barry "Genuine genius . . . American silliness has long had a champion in Dave Barry. . . . [He] remains, and there is no other word for it, hilarious." -- The New York Times Book Review "Dave Barry's latest book of essays is worth every penny when it comes to humor and insight. It's wonderful to see that he hasn't stopped writing about our foibles and his somewhat unique perspective on what makes us tick. And he's able to do it while invoking out-loud laughter." --Associated Press "These latest essays will cause outright, prolonged laughter." -- Kirkus Reviews "Despite years of medication, Dave Barry is still the funniest damn writer in the whole country. Let's hope he never grows up." --Carl Hiaasen "Dave Barry is truly the funniest man living in the three-mile 'safe' zone off the shores of America." --Steve Martin From the Hardcover edition., Praise for Best.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
