{"product_id":"dry-humor-tales-of-arizona-weather","title":"Dry Humor: Tales of Arizona Weather","description":"A humorous look at the folklore and facts behind Arizona's newsmaking weather. Comically illustrated throughout by cartoonist Jack Graham. Dry Humor is an entertaining read on a sometimes somber subject. Laugh at Dick Wick Hall's frog that carried a canteen in 1906 because there was no water around which to learn to swim. Read about those who slept under the stars, under damps sheets, or on the back porch on those hot summer nights before mechanical heating became available in the 1930s. Dry Humor is for everyone, resident or visitor, who wants the facts and the folklore behind Arizona's ever-changing, record-breaking weather. Author, James R. Cook , is a native Arizonan who has been writing about the state's histyory and lore for 40 years. He is a columnist for the state's largest newspaper, The Arizona Republic of Phoenix. His other books include The Arizona Trivia Book, published by Gem Guides.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0935182543\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0935182543.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cook, James E.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
