Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition Second Printing. 910 Pages Indexed. No defects noted. No marks or stamps. Interior text pages are flawless.Sixty-three original photographs strikingly reproduced as black-and-silver duotones. The appeal of this book lies in the graceful way it explores the impact of that long black ribbon on the lives of the people who lived beside it and in the book's explanation of how U.S. 66 became a highway the country could not forget. Today, as the text and photographs emphasize, there's not much left besides the legend. The two-lane blacktop has crumbled and most of the people who lived beside the old road have moved away or died. But while the new interstates are faster and safer, it is impossible not to miss old Route 66. The words and pictures of this delightful book preserve the memories of a road that ran through everyone's life. Those who severd its travelers for nearly 50 years selling Indian artifiacts, hamburgs, and chunks of petrified wood, or renting rooms, patching tires, and digging the wounded out of head-on collisions offer memories both enthusiastic and touching. The authors spent several years traveling the route from end to end, interviewing and photographing the people and structures that gave old 66 its flavor The text is carefully researched and well writen, and provide convincing images of ordinary people and places lacking the glamour of those at either end of that 2200 mile long line. Contents in 8 Chapters: Birth, Paving, Business and Ballyhoo, Dust Bowl, Wartime Photographic Essay, Boomtime, Highway Hype, and Interstate. Plus Notes, Selected Bibliiography and Asknowledgments.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. Quinta Scott and Susan Croce Kelly pay homage to Route 66, the "great diagonal highway," in images and words that sharply evoke the past and flesh out the legend the highway has become. The two-lane blacktop--traveled in John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, Bobby Troup's ever-popular postwar jazz tune, and a filmed-on-location television series of the '60s--is recalled in duotones of motels, cafes, gas stations, and trading posts, along with many of their owners. Interviews with the proprietors and the travelers they served, along with people like sign painter Jack Fuss and cave promoter Lyman Riley, provide much of the color.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. U.S. Highway 66 was always different from other roads. During the decades it served American travelers, Route 66 became the subject of a world-famous novel, an Oscar-winning film, a hit song, and a long running television program. The 2,000 mile concrete slab also became a seven-year obsession for Susan Croce Kelly and Quinta Scott. They traveled Route 66, photographing buildings, knocking on doors, and interviewing the people who had built the buildings and run the businesses along the highway. Drawing on the oral tradition of those rural Americans who populated the edge of old Route 66, Scott and Kelly have pieced together the story of a highway that was conceived in Tulsa, Oklahoma; linked Chicago to Los Angeles; and played a role in the great social changes of the early twentieth century. Using the words of the people themselves and documents they left behind, Kelly describes the life changes of Route 66 from the dirt-and-gravel days until the time when new technology and different life-styles decreed that it be abandoned to the small towns it had nurtured over the course of thirty years. Scott's photographic essay shows the faces of those 66 people and gives a feeling of what can be seen along the old highway today, from the seminal highway architecture to the grainfields of the Illinois prairie, the windbent trees of western Oklahoma, the emptiness of New Mexico, and the bustling pier where the highway ends on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. 'Route '66 uses oral history and photography as the basis for a human study of this country's most famous road. Historic times, dates, places, and events are described in the words of men and women who were there: driving the highway, cooking hamburgers, creating pottery, and pumping gas. As much as the concrete, gravel, and tar spread in a sweeping arc from Chicago to Santa Monica, those people are Route 66. Their stories and portraits are the biography of the highway.
