NEW YORK (AP) — Here’s a book sure to inspire some armchair travel, if not a real road trip: “Off the Beaten Path,” from Reader’s Digest, which lists more than 1,000 destinations in all 50 states.

The $30 coffee-table hardcover is organized by state and offers listings from the funky and obscure Barbed Wire Museum in LaCrosse, Kan., to a visit with native Alaskan Inupiats 33 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

Other unusual tidbits include the Spam Museum in Austin, Minn.; a trip to Airy, N.C., the inspiration for Mayberry in “The Andy Griffith Show.”
