Dust jacket excerpt:
Writing about Americans comes to be very much what is natural to any one thinking that it is pleasant to be one.

America is interesting because they will come to like a pleasant thing as they have come to be one. And every little helps.

And Useful Knowledge has been put together from every little that helps to be American. Once in talking and saying that in America the best material is used in the cheapest things because the cheapest things have to be made of the best material to make them worth while making it, it is really that it comes to be a romantic thing that has been so added to the history of living for an entire generation. Romance is everything and the very best material should make the cheapest thing is making into living the romance of human being.

This is the American something that makes romance everything. And Romance is Useful Knowledge.

Useful Knowledge is pleasant and, therefore, it is very much to be enjoyed. When there are many Americans and there are there is a great deal of pleasure in knowing that not only do they differ from one another but that Iowa and California are very pleasant and very different from one another.

And then this further, when they are altogether and ten years older and ten years younger they own the earth just as pleasantly together. It is nice to own the earth just as pleasantly as ever and to have Iowa and California and New York and Florida be different from one another.

Any one wishing to add a state can add one.
