Summary: Cruisin' Route 66
Review: I didn't know anything about Route 66 when Amanda and I left Chicago bound for Las Vegas. This book was very informative and the precise driving directions were a real help. Rt. 66 CANNOT be traveled without a guidebook of this type.
The book led us to all sorts of interesting people and places. We stopped and chatted with Lucille Harmon in Hydro, OK and Juan Delgado at the Sno-Cap in Seligman, AZ. These were places that I would have never known about were it not for this book. (12/7/2004: God rest their souls.)
If you choose to travel Rt. 66, be sure to have this book and stick to the two-lane original road all the way.

Summary: This is it! THE Route 66 book.
Review: I recently completed producing the TLC documentary, "Route 66: Main Street America" and I can assure you that if it were not for this book, I would have had great difficulty in putting the show together. Not only have the authors of this book compiled a virtual "best of" in terms of the sights to see, but they also give detailed and accurate instructions on how to get there. Sure, Michael Wallis' book is terrific, but for the person who plans on actually traveling on the Mother Road, this guide to Route 66 is indispensable.

Summary: Indispensable for anyone planning to drive Route 66
Review: Memo to anyone planning to drive Route 66: YOU NEED THIS BOOK. Of all the Route 66 titles on the market, this is the only one to provide detailed, turn-by-turn directions for following the Mother Road from Chicago to Los Angeles. The lively text supplies helpful background on Route 66 towns and identifies local landmarks along the way, while more than 100 color photos offer a running visual commentary. Following the authors' directions, I've driven Route 66 from end to end twice without getting lost. The book also allowed me to locate and follow long-bypassed sections of 66 which other authors ignore. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Summary: Still the Best For Those Who Want To Travel The Mother Road
Review: Moore still has the best book for those who want to retrace the Mother Road (or as much as is possible today). Wallis' book is hte best for those who want to soak up the atmosphere. I have followed Moore's directions in both Texas and Oklahoma nad have never gotten lost or stuck. I would highly recommend this as a must have for any Mother Road aficionado.

Summary: Bob's Route 66 Bible..
Review: This book spoon feeds the directions to you. It points out the road, the old buildings, the area radio stations, the people who have been on Route 66 for years, how to contact the State Route 66 Associations and more. I'm telling ya, you'll get lost without it!

Summary: The Ultimate Road Trip
Review: We don't have roads like this in the UK; somehow, travelling on what was once the Great North Road between London and Edinburgh (now snappily titled the A1) just doesn't have the same romance. Even many of the roads built by the Romans have disappeared altogether or under blacktop. I bought this book after seeing it as part of the title illustration to an article about Route 66 in the English magazine "Classic & Sportscar". A friend had also stayed at the wigwam motel while working in the States last year. The words in this book, and especially the evocative pictures, have inspired me to travel Route 66 myself, all the way from Lakeshore Drive to Santa Monica! Can I rent a 'Vette?
