Product Description
In Texas Yankee is a loose term covering a lot of ground. If you re not a Texan or a southerner, you re a Yankee and therefore, to many Texans, suspect. There are many rites of passage to being a Yankee in Texas: the first time you spot a pickup with a gun rack; the first time you realize that a week is a long time to go without Mexican food; the first time you recognize a change in seasons; your first thunderstorm; your first honky-tonk. Culture shock in Texas can be intense and is exacerbated by local rules of propriety that tell us to keep our mouths shut. But here in this book we are going to talk about it all with good old Yankee outspokenness. We ll clear the air, share experiences, orient newcomers, and have some good laughs.

Arrived in good time and like new. Gave as a gift to colleague moving to Texas from NJ so haven't read it, but title and back were amusing.
Yankee to Texan- a must read! (and your'll Yankees if your not from Texas apparently) December 16, 2008
Anna Tielsch (Waterford, CT United States)
We are moving from Connecticut to Texas and so glad to have read this book to prepare for the transition. The author is a New York native and has been in Texas for the last 20 years and loving every minute of it.
Author discusses different cities, different attitudes on life, and a whole different way of thinking out in the mid-west and does so in a carefree uplifting way that makes you just so happy you are moving (or moved) to Texas. Topics include dressing up (all the time), the bible belt (all the churches in the area), things to do (in multiple cities), and movies to watch to prepare yourself (including background on the Alamo) (and much more).
Book is a quick read (one day- couldn't put it down) and short and witty with the occasional laugh out loud chuckle while reading it!
 It is ok, not exactly what I expected. September 27, 2008

I was hoping for more insider tips to help someone moving to Texas. Instead it was mostly stories about her experiences. Not what I would call a "survival guide."
Right on target! August 23, 2007

Since moving to Texas, I've been puzzled by some 'odd' behavior by friends. Now I GET IT. This book is hilarious, well-written, and absolutely on target.

As a new Texan, and yes a Yankee Chick, I found this book extremely helpful. I understand my new adopted state a little better, but I understand how different I may appear to my new found friends due solely to this book. Thanks to my best friend up North for buying this book for me as a going away present. I read it on the way here on the plane, I could not put the book down. It is time again for me to read it... it's that good.
