"If you want to stop and smell the goldenrod in Nebraska, turn to Alan Boye: He should be able to tell you where it grows, why it is there and who planted it. . . . [The Complete Roadside Guide to Nebraska is] a mile-by-mile guide to the sights, history and oddities to be found or learned about along almost every road in Nebraska."—Gerald Wade, Omaha World-Herald "If there's a book that captures the quirky spirit of the original Federal Writers Project guide, this is it. . . . Throughout the book, the author's opinions and reflections add charm to the entries. . . . Stories, trivia, opinions, back road directions – Boye is an engaging travel companion. He'll charm you into looking closer at Nebraska."—Nebraska Life
