Route 66-A Tribute to an American Icon

 

This is published in the DK publishing line and is a current publication. Copyrighted in 2026.  256 pages/ Hard cover. pages. Large book. Table size. It traces the road from Chicago through the eight states it is laid out in. Each state has its own section covered in commentary and pictures. Beautiful and well handled.

This book should be in every home as the road is pure Americana. A person can't really understand America without understanding this road work and the road. 

Juist what can I say? It is part of our history. It is so important that songs have been offered. Television programs were centered around it has been featured in so many movies (most have it wrong about where the road ends. Not in Santa Monica at a pier but at an intersection at the end of a freeway off-ramp. A corner where Mel's diner) Sorry you dreamers out there.) The reason Santa Monica Pier is pushed could be because historians enjoy the romance of placing a sign on the pier under which the ocean lies. And Forest Gump ended his journey there.

I would recommend this book for families. The pictures are clear and well chosen.

This book can be purchased at your local bookstore or checked out at your library. I don't recommend Amazon as they are too large and have enough money. Help our economy by going to your neighborhood bookstore,
