Book Reviews of Route 66: EZ66 GUIDE For Travelers - 2nd Edition
Book Review: Absolutely the best
Summary: 5 Stars
We started our Route 66 road trip with a couple of other guides and did not discover this one until the second day. It's tempting to do the first day over again!
The great strengths:
1. The trip is broken up into strip maps that are about 75 miles long. Each map shows all the relevant freeway exits and the places where Route 66 has merged with I40. It's very easy t0 stay on the old road.
2. Each strip takes up one page and is then broken into four or five one-page segments of descriptive text that tell you exactly when and where to turn to stay on 66 and what to look for along the way. Where words are not enough, he includes thumbnail micro-maps that make the twists and turns crystal-clear.
3. His descriptions of what to see are a good mix of fact and expansion.
4. He includes optional side-trips to abandoned sections of old Route 666 that are both challenging and interesting.
A feature I can't evaluate is his provision of west-to-east directions for those traveling against the grain.
One minor quirk in his turn-by-turn directions is that he often does not provide the distance between turns. When a couple of turns happen in quick succession, it's an act of faith at first to drive a mile or two to reach the next named turn.
We had started the trip with the "Route 66 Traveler's Guide" whose maps were very weak and whose driving directions were almost non-existent (3 out of 5) and the "Route 66 Quick Reference Encyclopedia" which was absolutely worthless.
