Whether readers want to actually pick up their bindles and ride the rails or simply daydream about what'd it be like to leave it all behind, "The Hobo Handbook" educates on all aspects of the life on the open road. It's everything anyone would ever want to know about carrying the banner as they flip to the next flop. Inside, they'll learn how to: ride the rails without being pinched by a bull; decipher the secrets of the Hobo Code; live by the jungle rules; and, more. The handbook teaches readers that hobos aren't just tramps (who work only when forced) or bums (who don't work at all). Rather, these men and women are earnest workers who prefer the freedom of the jungle to the confines of a mortgage. And will pick up whatever works offered to make a few bucks. It's time to forget the 9-to-5 and grab the next hotshot out of town and out of dodge and live life the hobo way. |
