Way Out
WEST Softcover book by Jane & Michael Stern Over 400 pages with MANY photos and illustrations FIRST EDITION Copyright © 1993 by Jane & Michael Stern " A Book for the Cowboy and Cowgirl
in Everyone ! " " From Roy Rogers and Dale Evans to "Get Your Kicks on Route 66," the spirit of the West is the soul of America. Now the bestselling authors of The Encyclopedia of Pop Culture and The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste celebrate the West as no others have ever done.
Heavily illustrated and rich with lore and information, Way Out West presents an American dreamscape that continues to inspire fashion, song, movies, and lifestyles. " " Praise for Way Out West by Jane and Michael Stern " " " For everyone who's a buckaroo at heart, Jane and Michael Stern's Way Out West is a tootin' romp through a nostalgic word of vintage cowboy films, long-gone roadside attractions, western wear and much, much more. "
- Lynn Van Matre, Chicago Tribune " " " The Sterns always manage to get to the bottom of the western lore and legend and hokum-
from brands to saguaros - but they are too clever to let you forget the broadly humorous exploitation that real westerners have made of their history and their wide open spaces. "
- Raymond Sokolov, Wall Street Journal " " " The Sterns are American pop culture vultures who always bring an air of unbridled zest to their books ... The Sterns hit the trail again, this time roping readers into big-sky country and points south with their eye-popping illustrations, goofy photos, witty text and quirky observations. "
- Kristin McMurran, People " Contents include: " ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
