Andrea ValdezHow to Be a Texan: The Manual

fun book..pretty accurate.a good selection of recipes and fun gift.

We purchased this for a friend moving to Texas, and he learned a lot about Texas and was ready for the culture shock!..Great info!

Great Book if you want to give to someone makes fun of you being a Texan. Tells the what the funny sayings mean to a Texas. My friend loved the gift.

This book is a delightful read, but it is also well researched and provides the reader with a little Texas history lesson as we navigate the author's "guide" to being a Texan. I found myself chuckling at times and very frequently found myself nodding and saying, "that's right"! Every native Texan will thoroughly enjoy this book and every transplanted Texan needs this book!

I bought this book as a birthday present for my aunt, who was born and raised in Texas. She currently lives in Huntsville, just north of Houston. She loves it, and leaves it on her coffee table in plain sight so that foreigners (e.g. people from Oklahoma or Louisiana) can get a quick education regarding their strange new environment.

How to Be a Texan: The Manual...... It was fun, but seemed to lack direction. BUT, if you know or love a Texan and want to better understand what makes him tick, this may be just the book for you.
