The third edition of Drew
Knowles' Route 66 Adventure Handbook
is about 100 pages longer than the previous
version of this book. Without question, the
best part of the book is the author's opening
essay about what it means to travel along
historic Route 66. He likens this book to
"teaching a man to fish" rather
than simply serving up a plate of prepared
seafood. In particular, I applaud his recommendation
to "simply go with the flow" when
traveling along the Mother Road. His tips
for locating the path of the original Route
66 highway are excellent, and his useful techniques
can be easily applied to any historic road
in America...[More]
