America's Oddest Laws

Book excerpt: The law of the land is not always uniform, and this wacky book is proof. Intrigued readers dive into the law books of America’s cities and towns, passing by all the boring stuff and getting down to the just plain weird. Forget jaywalking and other everyday crimes—in West Virginia it’s illegal to use a ferret for hunting! Incredibly engaging text and wild photographs help make sure readers won’t play bingo for too long in North Carolina and stay on the right side of the law when collecting seaweed in New Hampshire.
