Texas

5.0 out of 5 stars still the best book on route 66, Dec 3 2001

By	Phyllis Herring (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

I read Wallis' original book some years ago and now he has offered us an update. It is now 75 years since the highway numbering system went into effect, and more than ten years since the original book came out. What we get is an extra chapter in the back outlining some of the many changes that have occured in the past decade. Some old friends of the road have passed away; and a whole lot of new ones added. One gripe. We don't hear how Angel and Juan in Seligman are doing these days. Experienced 66 hands will know who I mean--the rest of you, make sure you find out about those two fine gentlemen. This, new, book will help you on your way. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real 66, Aug 15 2001

By	Electron (TULSA, OKLAHOMA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Route 66: The Mother Road (Paperback)

A really fantastic book that tellsthe story of this famous road. It'svery well written and the images arewhat I remember as a child riding inmy father's '41 Cadillac with a canvas water bag on the front of the car and a swamp cooler hooked to thepassenger window. Tulsa to Los Angeles was our route on Route 66.Michael and Suzanne Wallis really know their stuff!

This review is from: Route 66: The Mother Road (Hardcover)

"Rout 66: The MOther Road" is a good coffee table book that serves as both a travel guide and as a history of America's most famous highway. Chocked full of pictures both old and new, it is sure to fill you with the desire to hit the road.
