New York, NY, U.S.A.: Broadway Books, 1999. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. After living in Britain for two decades, Bill Bryson recently moved back to the United States with his English wife and four children (he had read somewhere that nearly 3 million Americans believed they had been abducted by aliens -- as he later put it, "it was clear my people needed me"). They were greeted by a new and improved America that boasts microwave pancakes, twenty-four-hour dental-floss hotlines, and the staunch conviction that ice is not a luxury item. Delivering the brilliant comic musings that are a Bryson hallmark, I'm a Stranger Here Myself recounts his sometimes disconcerting reunion with the land of his birth. The result is a book filled with hysterical scenes of one man's attempt to reacquaint himself with his own country, but it is also an extended if at times bemused love letter to the homeland he has returned to after twenty years away. 288 pages. Top & bottom of spine and front cover top right corner tip bumped. Date and intials on top right corner of Ffep, looks erased but I can see it. Dust jacket front cover inside flap has a 1" crease across the bottom right corner.., New York, NY, U.S.A.: Broadway Books, 1999, 0<
