from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
This is a well written book and a very informative one for the Western society to have a broader picture of Burma.

6.[no image]Verse by the Side of the Road : The Story of the Burma-Shave Signs and Jingles
from S. Greene Press

Customer Review:
I am so glad I picked this up. I'm a fool for creative marketing, and this book is very endearing. The story of Burma-Shave and their roadside advertising is timeless. I am under 40, never drove past a Burma-Shave sign in my life, and it was still a terrific book to read. A fascinating look at an... more info

from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.17
