I found this book in a local charity shop today and can highly recommend it for anyone who has travelled Route 66. The book is £20 to buy from all good bookshops and is a great nostalgic collection full of old photos from places along the route. Here’s what Amazon has to say:
“John Steinbeck famously christened Route 66 America’s “Mother Road” in The Grapes of Wrath, and that chapter about Tom Joad’s exodus is just one of the classic pieces collected in this ultimate anthology. Here’s history, roadside attractions, pop culture, ghost stories—even recipes from famous greasy spoons. And it’s all illustrated with the largest collection of vintage art, postcards, travel decals, collectibles, and other memorabilia ever amassed. This is a truly a worthy tribute to the Main Street of America.”
