    Synopsis

    A guide to all the exuberance, splendor, and absurdity of Route 66, this reference 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. Painstakingly researched, this resource provides information on how to locate unmarked portions of the old highway; contact information for Route 66 associations and local visitor bureaus; maps and other navigational aids; 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. Also included is a foreword by David Knudson, Executive Director of the National Historic Route 66 Federation.

    June 29, 2009: I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone planning to travel along route 66. We enjoyed reading each chapter as we came upon the towns described in this book. Very well written, we enjoyed photographing the same pictures that were included in the volume. We had a wonderful two week adventure using the suggestions and sites in this book. Highly recommend.
