      Annotation

      The popularity of the old Route 66 is one of America's great comeback stories. This fully revised and expanded edition of Snyder's classic guide will make the trip along the "Mother Road" more exciting than ever with new information on mini-tours, photography tips, a planning section, and more. Over 40 maps.

      Library Journal

      Route 66 conjures up varied images for many Americans. Those who traveled it before the Interstate Highway System crisscrossed the country with high-speed expressways (as did this reviewer) have their own memories, as do those who watched the TV series and lusted after that Corvette. Snyder has traveled Route 66 extensively from its origin in Chicago to its terminus in Santa Monica. He provides detailed directions to the driver wishing to follow the old road. In many places, Route 66 is gone or is now the interstate, but there are still enough miles left to give modern travelers a trip back in time. Motels, restaurants, museums, scenic wonders, and local histories are included. Fun to read, though not an essential purchase, this would appeal to those planning a leisurely drive through the Midwest and Southwest.-- Thomas K. Fry, UCLA Libs.

      October 17, 2009: This book was invaluable for our recent trip of route 66 and highway 40. The best part for us was information about road difficulties with an rv and we plan to return in our corvette to cover the parts of route 66 we couldn't get to.

      Excellent gift for friends especially those who have retired and want to travel the USA.by criticmom

      July 19, 2009: Excellent travel information guide. Well worth using for reading and for the road trip. Have purchased as gifts for friends and family who wish to take road trips and they love it. Purchased it for myself when I bought it for friends, because I couldn't resist, and I love it. Quite the fun and nostalgic trip for those of us who traveled the "Mother Road" in the early days, before freeways. A fun, historical book whether you travel or not, but it does make you want to take the Route 66 vacation road trip.
