Westward Ho!
The Magellan's Log Pocket Guide to the United States
for the Savvy International Traveler
by Bloce Kaibab

Introduction
Persons planning a trip to the United States are faced with a daunting decision: which of
the hundreds of guidebooks to purchase and rely on to help them get through their
encounter with the richest country in the world?
In truth, theres hardly a dimes worth of difference
among those many books. They all give you the same lists of places to see, where to stay,
where to eat. What is lacking in these whole libraries of guides to America is plain,
old-fashioned, no punches pulled honesty.
For example:
Everybody knows that the United States has the best toilet paper in the world, and rightly
prides itself on that fact. But how many travelers, not to mention guidebooks, know that
over 50% of Americans DO NOT WASH THEIR HANDS after using their excellent toilet paper? Magellans
Log is here to give you that kind of vital information. Here you are, still only in
the introduction to our honest guide to America and youve already learned to avoid
using the door handle when you exit an American restroom.
Whether youve already visited the United States and found yourself repeatedly
baffled and embarrassed by native behavior, or whether youre planning your first
trip, we guarantee WESTWARD HO! will greatly enhance your enjoyment of all future trips to
the Land of Late Capitalism Triumphant.
