Product Description

Review

Consistently illuminating and readable, the overall effect of Food on the Move is stumbling across a superb and unheralded documentary on BBC4. --Icon Magazine February 2011

This book by motorway service enthusiast David Lawrence looks at the fascinating, weird and wonderful world of the most underated British architecture around. You'll never look at a motorway services again after reading this fantastic book.
--motortorque.com December 2010

Product Description

The definitive architecture, design and cultural history of the motorway service area, its places and its people. Fully illustrated throughout with forewords by Joan Bakewell and Michael Bracewell, writing by Richard Wentworth, and essays by Alain de Botton, Iain Borden, Laurie Taylor and Sancha Briffa.

Food on the move 9 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
I bought this for my hubby, he has not put it down since, he says it is amazing. Roads and travel are his thing- he's obsessed so book about motorway service is just up his street! LOL!
However, the book itself is not very well made and is coming away from the spine

This is not really a review and I don't wish to be unfair to anyone, but I suspect the above 'review' has been submitted by the book's author. I'd love to own this book and have ordered a copy. However, it clearly isn't in stock and you won't receive a copy quickly - I ordered my copy on February 9th and I'm still waiting.

Perhaps the Highways Agency have cursed the publication of this book and caused the delay, but someone clearly needs to get their act together here.
