"Route 66 Magazine, "Winter 2008-09 (circ.: 55,000) "The marvelous visual and descriptive vintage postcards, historic prints, and present-day photographs, along with maps and the author's capsule history of the sites featured, comprise a unique return to the heyday of America's Main Street." "Escapees," Nov/Dec 2008 (circ.: 38,000) "This quality book does it all: takes you on a magical memory trip along what was once the main east-west artery of the nation stretching from Chicago to Los Angeles, tells the stories of the filling stations, small towns, motor courts, cafes, honky-tonks and other traveler services along the fabled Route 66 and show you what remains....This would be a fabulous gift for anyone who ever traveled Route 66 especially for highway history, vintage car or classic RV buffs. Imagine parking outside a restored 1940's-era motor court in our 1949 Ford. Sounds like fun."
