5.0 out of 5 stars Dad, Can we Please Stop Here??, April 7 2002
By Steven Rider (Albany, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Here's the story behind those magical roadside attractions children of all ages longed to stop at during your family travels on old Route 66. They're all here...trading posts, snake pits, the strange and the unusual places designed to lure travelers off the road. Thomas Repp spent years researching and interviewing surviving business owners and their survivors to provide intimate and fresh details about these gems from the past. A must-have for any serious Route 66 enthusiast or to anyone who enjoys reading about the old roadside businesses that made traveling what it was during the post-war period. This book is a complement to Thomas's first book, Empires of Amusement, which covered the eastern part of Route 66 in much the same way.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting treasure trove of nostalgic memory, Mar 17 2002
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Filled with gorgeous full-color photography, Route 66: The Romance Of The West is a fascinating slice of American history and a "yesteryear" way of life. Filled with anecdotes garnered along the length of what is perhaps the most famous highway in America, Route 66: The Romance of the West presents such unique locales as the Wigwam Motel, Dinosaur Caverns, Lyon Pony Express Museum and much, much more. A treat for armchair travelers, Route 66: The Romance Of The West is an exciting treasure trove of nostalgic memory and cultural legacy. Also very highly recommended is author Thomas Arthur Repp's previous book, Route 66: The Empires Of Amusement.
