RV "Coffee Table" Books

Coffee table not quite right term but can't think of a better off the cuff.

Looking for RV & camping books, not guides or how-to, but books that you can pick up & put down, start & stop reading on any page.

Got what I could find at Amazon: Camper & RV Humor, Trailerama, Peculiar Place of the RV in American Culture. What else is available? Doesn't need to be new purchase, I've no problem buying good comdition used books.

    The Ride of Our Lives by Mike Leonard ($17 new, $4 or so on ebay) is the story of a former NBC producer who bought an RV and piled his family plus elderly parents into it for a ride across the US. It's has several emotions from humor to eyes tearing up. Probably not worth the new price but definitely worth the used dollars.

    I like location specific books from our favorite destinations. I'd suggest a particular photographer journalist for Alaska- Michio Hoshino
