James
Dean Died Here:
The Locations of America's Pop Culture
Landmarks
"Chris Epting writes a guidebook
to a broad range of historic and often hysterical American
landmarks -- more than 700 in all. James Dean Died Here
includes the spot where the young movie icon perished in
a car accident, the location of the Brady Bunch house, and
the hangar where the final scene of Casablanca may have
been shot."
--National Public Radio's "All Things Considered"
"James Dean Died Here is an
addictively irresistible tour through pop culture past and
present."
--Chicago Tribune
"The U.S. embraces its own
pop culture like no other country does, says advertising
veteran Epting, and he shows exactly where to find American
cultural hotspots in this absorbing guide."
--Publisher's Weekly
"Full of photos, Epting’s
book is a guilty pleasure for the celebrity obsessed and
offers an intriguing peek into the quirks of Americana."
--Booklines
"Whereabouts of 600-plus places
that have helped shape national identity, from the momentous
(site of the world's first A-bomb explosion) to the ridiculous
(where Zsa Zsa slapped that hunky Beverly Hills cop)."
--USA Today
