Texas!

Welcome to Texas!, a 624-page, local as all get-out guide to the Lone Star State.

Inside you’ll find the places and traditions beloved by the real-life Texans who live there: the cats that patrol the grounds at the Alamo; the drippin’ paint jobs on SLAB cars; and the festivals dedicated to everything from strawberries to mosquitos. Texas! takes readers across seven regions and hundreds of miles of highway—through marshy birding preserves and red rock canyons—while somehow never leaving this one very singular state.

A non-exhaustive list of what’s included:
○ An introduction by Kacey Musgraves
○ Excerpts from homegrown authors including Larry McMurtry, Kinky Friedman, and Jia Tolentino
○ Original stories from Texas filmmakers and actors
○ Contemporary and archival Texas photography
○ Illustrated fold-out maps, recipes, and tips on everything from surviving a Panhandle dust storm to buttering your salsa in East Texas
