Texas Towns from Abner to Zipperlandville What's in a name? Don Blevins answers exactly that question in this book, where the truth comes out about the peculiar names of towns that decorate the Lone Star State.
— Houston Tribune
The way Blevins is so attracted to the towns makes it seem almost as if they were named just for him to research. And the result is a page-turning, share-with-your-friends book that shouldn't leave your car. You'd better buy a copy for the house too!

This is an excellent book to keep in the glove compartment furing family road trips in Texas.
