About this product
Product Information
Critically acclaimed author Tom Miller reveals the making and marketing of one Panama hat, from the straw fields of Ecuador's coastal lowland to a hat shop in Southern California. Along the way, the hat becomes a literary device allowing Miller to give us his impressions from the tributaries of the Amazon to the mountainsides of the Andes. The Panama Hat Trail is at once a study in global economics and a lively travelogue.

Miller is a good story teller... his entertaining book puts a feather in the Ecuadorian straw hat."-- Christian Science Monitor "There is Miller, rolling from one adventure to another, part Mark Twain, part Evelyn Waugh. . . .

But then, you don't have Tom Miller's eyes." --Phoenix New Times "An almost novelistic adventure story." --USA Today, "Among the best travel books ever written." --National Geographic Traveler "There is Miller, rolling from one adventure to another, part Mark Twain, part Evelyn Waugh. . . .
