Book Reviews of Route 66: The Mother Road 75th Anniversary Edition
Book Review: still the best book on route 66
Summary: 5 Stars
I read Wallis' original book some years ago and now he has offered us an update. It is now 75 years since the highway numbering system went into effect, and more than ten years since the original book came out. What we get is an extra chapter in the back outlining some of the many changes that have occured in the past decade. Some old friends of the road have passed away; and a whole lot of new ones added. One gripe. We don't hear how Angel and Juan in Seligman are doing these days. Experienced 66 hands will know who I mean--the rest of you, make sure you find out about those two fine gentlemen. This, new, book will help you on your way. Highly recommended.
2006--I should mention that Juan Delgadillo, the "Juan" in my review, passed away Summer 2004. Regrets. He seemed like such a genuine character.
