About the Author
Jim Ross of Arcadia, Oklahoma, is a writer, researcher, and avid Route 66 enthusiast who has devoted years to photographing, charting, and exploring the Mother Road and its web of intricate routings. His articles and images have appeared in a wide range of publications, and his book, Oklahoma Route 66, is considered the standard for guidebooks documenting the history of America’s most famous highway. Jerry McClanahan of Corsicana, Texas, has been traveling, mapping and painting America’s Main Street since 1980. Drawing on childhood memories for inspiration, Jerry sees his art as a contribution to the commemoration and celebration of our highway heritage. An accomplished artist and photographer, he is also an “old road” detective of the first order, and his findings from years of research were essential ingredients to this maps series.

Just back from nine-day trip from Chicago to Southern California on Route 66. This set of maps was our main guide to The Mother Road. Artwork seems crude, but when you get out there and start driving you'll find that it's generally sufficient, and when you get in trouble (translation: Lost, it happens to all of us sometimes!) the written description is enough to get you back on track!

Throughout my 10 year interest in Route 66, I've read just about every guidebook there is that will get you from Chicago to Santa Monica. Hands down, Here It Is! The Route 66 Map Series is not only the best bang for your buck, but it's also the most accurate. Sure, fancy slick pages with nice color photos are nice to look at in most guidebooks on the market, but they won't do you much good when they misdirect you. Jim & Jerry have created the standard all guidebooks should follow.

Easy to read, wonderfully artistic and simple to fold to boot, The Route 66 Map Series makes navigating the old road a Sunday drive in the park. Each individual state map contains detailed written directions broken into sections--as well as an encapsulated history of the Mother Road in that particular state. Pen-and-ink master Jerry McClanahan fills the maps with drawings of classic 66 icons like the Capistrano Courts and the Lone Yucca Motel signs. My nomination for the Series' best feature: The maps include modern-day Interstate exit numbers so you can join or leave Route 66 at your leisure--indispensable when you're motoring west on a schedule.

Could have been slightly better.
Ok, so there's a map for each state, plus points of interest along the way, but it all seemed a bit jumbled and not quite right for me. Read more
