* With the state being home to over 30 million residents, our Texas title continues to be one of the best-selling books in our series. A state with a diverse demographic make-up, the book mentions the important legacy of Hispanic Texans in the state and many of the other communities that make Texas, Texas. * Full of university towns, die-hard sports fans and locals who consider themselves 'Texan first' before anything else, there's a consistent and thriving customer base for the book. We hope to showcase the book in as many of the sites mentioned as possible, as well as local museum gift shops and exhibitions where possible. * Constantly in the headlines, Texas draws attention for its unique culture, celebrity and millionaire residents, and is frequently a part of the zeitgeist as movies and shows set here rise to success almost annually.
