Book DescriptionFully revised and expanded, this guide to all the exuberance, splendor, and absurdity of Route 66 includes details on the magnificent architecture, natural wonders, vintage motels and cafes, unique museums, offbeat attractions, fascinating artifacts and icons, and kitschy tourist traps that dot this famous stretch of road. Now featuring dozens of city maps that pinpoint locations of interest, this painstakingly researched handbook provides information on how to locate the multiple paths of Route 66, including unmarked portions of the old highway; contact information for Route 66 associations and local visitor bureaus; an index of all Route 66 towns; and anecdotes, trivia, attractions, and suggested side trips. From well-known hotspots to obscure, off-the-beaten-path destinations, this inspiring guide presents a wealth of information for both first-time adventurers and seasoned travelers.
My thoughts
I have been intrigued by Route 66 for many years and have always wanted to travel the route. Being from the east coast, I’d have to really plan for it. So I immerse myself in various books and I must say that this handbook is the best that I have come across.
Not only does the author supply photos and maps, he has updated it with new information as he continues to travel the route. One thing though, I better get on the road before many of these treasures are forever gone.
Disclosure: I received this book through paperbackswap.com. I received no compensation for my thoughts.
