Great Photos, Less narrative
Review by Michael on 05/18/23 review stating Great Photos, Less narrative
The photos are very informative and aestically pleasing. The narrative provides a great deal of detail, but often times no photos to go with the description/story

Get Some Kicks with Ghost Sites on 66
Review by Robert on 04/29/22 review stating Get Some Kicks with Ghost Sites on 66
Very interesting and uniquely American. Good pictures that give us windows of one of the most important roads ever constructed. Purchased this to learn more about the highway as I am planning a road trip along the route. Have identified a number of must see locations.

I bought this gift for my sister and brother-in-law as they had taken a trip in their 1963 Studebaker Lark on most of Old Route 66 to California many years ago now, and I've heard rave reviews from them. Thank you for a great, nostalgic book!

Some of the print in the book was a little small to read but that is on the publisher and not the seller. Very nice shipping package and arrived in great shape.
