Route 66: Lost and Found conveys the spirit and the times, not quite like any other book. Arizona Daily SunFor several decades, Route 66 was the nation's main east-west thoroughfare, pointing Middle America toward all the promise California seemed to hold at various times, whether permanent refuge from the Dust Bowl or a temporary escape from the drudgery of everyday suburban life in prosperous postwar America. As such, America's Main Street once teemed with activity . . . bustling centers of commerce that evaporated into the vast American landscape like the jet contrails overhead and the heat rising from the Interstate asphalt. This engaging look at the "Mother Road" takes 75 locations along its 2,297 mile route from Chicago to Santa Monica and shows them first during their halcyon heydays through black-and-white photographs and period postcards, then on the facing page as they appear today, from the exact same angle and also through vivid black-and-white photographs.

Reader Reviews
I own a couple of route 66 books but I think this one is fast becoming my favorite. It is like taking a roadtrip from the comfort of my favorite chair. The "then and now" photos really give you an idea of how many things have changed and strangly enough, how many things have stayed the same. A written history accompanies each photo and gives great Insight into the motels, towns and cafes that once thrived along 66. It is hard to put down!
