Produktbeschreibung

Celebrate America's outrageous competitive fire

• 100 years of "see it to believe it" American contests
• Includes dozens of mind-blowing, little-known competitions
• Gorgeous design with 150 color and black-and-white photographs, plus sidebars

From marathon dancing, to food eating contests, beauty pageants, pole sitting, rotten sneaker contests, animal calling contests, phone-booth stuffing, outhouse races, and more, Americans love competing to see who can do anything better than anyone else. We Have a Winner! is a visually stunning tour, from coast to coast, through our often whacky, uniquely themed contests. Covering more than a century's worth of competition, and packed with photos and fascinating sidebars, this book shows how the American competitive spirit-as wacky as it sometimes is-mirrors American trends, innovation, and news.
