Description: Tim Brookes was a 20-year-old Oxford student when he began hitchhiking in 1973 from the East Coast to the West Coast and back again. His experiences led him to leave England and settle in New England. Twenty-five years later he decides to re-create his odyssey of 1973. "Highlighted by wonderful photographs, this book revisits old stomping grounds and discovers new ones, tracks down old friends and makes new ones, remembers old impressions of America and deftly sketches new vignettes of a country at once very different and surprisingly the same."--Jacket.
