    Customer Reviews

    route 66 adventure handbook5
    I recieved the book within a week in excellent condiion. I am very pleased with this seller.

    Not enough details2
    The places suggested in this book were good. However, there were hardly any details such as the address or phone numbers. Without that information it was difficult to locate some of the attractions.

    The Road to Fun4
    This book is a lot of fun, whether you're planning a major road trip or just dipping in for a little armchair travel. Knowles writes with genuine enthusiasm for the history and the people of the Mother Road, but he keeps his focus on what's here, now. This is no endless list of sites for long-defunct motor courts. The Route 66 Adventure Handbook lets readers know there is life and, yes, adventure, on the old road yet.
