Having driven Route 66 in 1973 this book gave me much more insight into the treasures within easy reach of the Mother Road. I intend driving it again, this time on a Harley in the next couple of years. I will now have to plan a longer trip to see some of the many places we always miss. A superb book, well worth buying. I would recommend it to all former travelers of Route 66 and for wannabe Route 66ers it is required reading. A much needed guide and a very well written travelling companion.
