■ Collecting "Weird Signs" from all over the country that make you stop involuntarily
Road signs catch your eye as you walk down the street. They are usually overlooked, but some of them are slightly unusual, making you tilt your head and wonder, "Why is this here?" or "What does this mean?"
This book introduces "weird signs" found all over the country, such as those standing in strange places, designs that make you laugh, and placements full of incongruity. It features numerous unique signs that make you want to take a picture.
■ The more you look, the more addictive the fascination of signs becomes
Even the road signs we casually look at often hold unexpected discoveries upon closer inspection. While explaining the charm of such signs in an easy-to-understand manner, this book will make you want to tell someone, "I didn't know a sign like this existed!"
