Product Description

What is an Alaska Tuxedo? Bunny boots? Where can you see an ear pull or a knuckle hop? What goes in a honey bucket? How is a winner selected for the famous Nenana Ice Classic? Who uses the mukluk telegraph? Edited by Mike Doogan, HOW TO SPEAK ALASKAN will delight, amuse and inform with its irreverent yet factual explanations of Alaska's own vocabulary.

Customer Reviews

Fun, amusing, & educational5
The book is good for a few laughs of local Alaskan lingo and customs.
Also, you learn a lot, too. Fun for Alaskan enthusiasts.

Good start but only a third done3
The book was a good start on phrases and meanings, but it was only a third as long as it should have been. The material was fine, but just too short. Had the book been regular sized, it probably would have been about 4 pages.
