The color photography is stunning in both content and quality, with a nice Rasmussen look. Even the old ads, badges, brochures, and posters appear as fresh and crisp as the day they were printed regardless of their vintage. Specific details on particular stations, company products, and people add more than a little charm and will put a wipe-the -window smile on your face. -- Mobilia,January 1995

From the curbside gas pumps of the 1920s, to the full-service, uniformed attendants of the 1930s-50s, to today's self-service stations, Witzel thoroughly educates the reader about the history of a little considered, but important need for the motoring public. The text is well written and traces the gas station's history chronologically, while the illustrations provide the reader with a poignant reminder of a time when many things in life were much simpler. -- Vette Magazine - Book of the Month, September 1997
