I keep mine in my van. I found a lot of sites using the booklet! Vary useful finding alinements and landmarks of the Mother Road. Great reading for roadies. It's one of the better road guide books I've found for cruising Route 66.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enlarged, improved 3rd edition of a standard Route 66 guide, May 2 2000

This review is from: Route 66: Traveler's Guide and Roadside Companion (Paperback)

10 years ago, Tom Snyder compiled the first modern guide to driving Route 66. For this third edition, Snyder has thoughtfully separated the driving directions ("Traveler's Guide") from his trove of 66-related anecdotes ("Roadside Companion"), making the book more useful. The guide's most distinctive features are reproductions of period maps from the Automobile Club of Southern California, over which the route of the modern Interstate has been superimposed.

Snyder's book is a fun read and quite helpful for planning a Route 66 drive. But once you're on the road, BY FAR the most useful navigational aid is Bob Moore and Patrick Grauwels' *The Illustrated Guidebook to the Mother Road*, which unlike Snyder's book provides turn-by-turn directions and mileage.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of bum steers and confusion
We tried using this book on a recent trip on Route 66. Not only does he use outdated maps, with old street names, but has he even tried following this book himself? Read more
