“... not just another Route 66 book. It
is one of a handful written that adds meat to the sinew and
bone as well as reality to the fantasy. With the turning of
each page, the evolution of the American highway and our fascination
with the open road unfolds. ... This could be the definitive
book on Route 66 and our fascination with it.”
