Though this whimsical subject might have inspired livelier text ... most of these crack-pot creations speak for themselves. -- Entertainment Weekly, Margot Mifflin

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pictures and contemporary history, August 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Fun Along the Road: American Tourist Attractions - Another Amazing Album from America's Number One Roadside Observer (Hardcover)
Margolies is a photographer, but he provides not just books of photographs but well-written contemporary history to go with them.

This book is about roadside attractions, some long gone, some still hanging on, and some thriving. It inspired me to spend two weeks driving all over Florida trying to catch some of these places before they vanish forever.

Miniature golf, a favorite subject of the author, gets special coverage.

This book and his previous Home Away From Home are inspirational if you travel and still fascinating if you don't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Pictures for the American Time Traveler, September 29, 2004
By John Preble "UCM Museum Director" (ABITA SPRINGS, LA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fun Along the Road: American Tourist Attractions - Another Amazing Album from America's Number One Roadside Observer (Hardcover)
As a reader I could tell that the author loves the subject. He includes pictures most of the great tourist attractions and many of the not so great ones. This is a fun book to read. Not a heavy piece of reading - but very informative - from several angles - historical, business, and travel. I have read other books by the author and am impressed with all of them. The layout and art direction of the book serves the subject well. I can see this book going into more editions. The size of the book is swell - big enuf for big pictures - small enuf to handle in "tight spots."

5.0 out of 5 stars True to its name, August 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Fun Along the Road: American Tourist Attractions - Another Amazing Album from America's Number One Roadside Observer (Hardcover)
Anyone who enjoys the road and its culture--past and present--will enjoy reading Fun Along the Road. It evokes great memories of those road trips of yesteryear. I own a lot of books on roadside Americana and have a few others by John Margolies. He is an excellent author and photographer. I highly recommend this book.
