5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home with out it! Really!, Dec 21 2001

By	William L. Carter "wlee66" (Salida, CO United States) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of bum steers and confusion, Aug 22 2000

By	Jack Eskoz (Highland Park, IL USA) - See all my reviews

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 Not only does he use outdated maps, with old street names, but has he even tried following this book himself? Most of the time, when we tried to follow his directions, we got completely off-course. One memorable time, he got us on an old, run-down alignment that literally had only one lane! Luckily, we had only one on-coming car to pass (which was accomplished by both cars driving on their respective shoulders!) I think he just phones in the "updates!" The only reason he gets even one star is because there is some interesting history in this book. However, I wonder if any of his historical facts are correct, since he gives so much misinformation otherwise!

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

By	Doug Pappas (Hartsdale, NY) - See all my reviews

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but not enough tips
I like the book, but I wish it had more details such as which 2 or 3 hotels he recommends in a particular city & why. More restaurants to stop at, etc.
