Get Your Pics on Route 66: Postcards from America's Mother Road by Joe Sonderman (Paperback, 2011)

About this product

Product Information

Route 66 is arguably the most famous road in America. But Route 66 is not just a road. Roads take travellers to their destination, while Route 66 is a destination. It is for those who find that the journey is at least half the fun. This book is a joint effort from American author and collector Joe Sonderman and Italian publisher and editor Paolo Battaglia. Sonderman's huge postcard collection and his personal memories and researches are displayed through a visual method that Battaglia developed through ten years of experience as director of a very unique Italian photo and postcard museum. In this book, vintage postcards bring the reader back to a time when Route 66 was the 'Main Street of America', lined with colourful motels, gas stations and diners bathed in neon, along with the occasional 'tourist trap'. Cars were massive, gas was cheap, and America got its 'Kicks on Route 66'. Contents: Statale 17 vs Route 66 History of Route 66 Illinois: Land of Lincoln Missouri: The 'Show Me' State Kansas: The Sunflower State Oklahoma: The Sooner State Texas: The Lone Star State New Mexico: Land of Enchantment Arizona: The Grand Canyon State California: The Golden State AUTHOR: Joe Sonderman always wanted to discover the places the family station wagon sped past when he was a child. He maintains a website of Route 66 postcards and was a St. Louis radio personality and traffic reporter for over 25 years, and now works at the Missouri Department of Transportation, watching the roads of today while treasuring the roads of yesteryear. He is the author of four books on the history of America's Mother Road. SELLING POINTS: The history of America's Mother Road seen through vintage postcards, a guide book for those who want to bring Route 66 back to life. ILLUSTRATIONS: 487 colour *
