* The fifth volume of wonderfully funny account of his global business travels by Peter Biddlecombe.

Peter Biddlecombe takes us on another irreverent global tour, snubbing his nose at the "gimmick tourists" and carrying on doing what he does best—business, all over the world, with a wonderfully diverse range of characters. Power-players in Milan, storm-trooping language police in Toronto, and just general chaos in Kinshasa are a mere selection of the obstacles the international businessman must face as he struggles to come to grips with the local way of doing things. But it's all in the name of commerce, and whether he's trapped in a luxury hotel during the riots in Bombay or working his way through a "Good Food Guide" to Ouagadougou, Peter Biddlecombe always comes out with a tale to tell.

The United States of America is, aw shucks, many things to many people. But to businessman and travel writer Peter Biddlecombe it's FOOD. Huge, vitamin-fortified, artery-clogging, fat-laden, calorie-packed, colonic blocking, microwavable mountains of the stuff. And most of all it's burgers. McBurgers. In his ninth irreverent travel book Biddlecombe chews over the whole of the USA, state-by-state-by-state, as if it was a McHuge McBurger. From the Chicken States of Kentucky and Rhode Island to the Ice State, Alaska, he describes an entire continent whilst imparting a greal deal of practical information.
