Updated “Route 66 Adventure Handbook” is out

I found this Associated Press article about Drew Knowles’ newly expanded, third-edition version of the “Route 66 Adventure Handbook.”

I haven’t perused the new version, but I’ve read earlier editions of Knowles’ book. I recommend it highly, because it not only concentrates on main attractions along the Mother Road, but also worthwhile side trips.

This excerpt from the preface summarizes the book nicely:

I wrote this book because it’s exactly what I need to take with me whenever I travel Route 66, and it is my sincere hope that it can be of similar service to you in your own explorations of the Mother Road.

The problem I had, which this volume seeks to solve, is this: each time I get out on the Mother Road, there are many things I’d like to see and experience myself which I might only have heard or read about up to that time. Invariably, while out exploring the Route, there are things which I remember to investigate, but there are others which I simply forget about until after I’ve returned home. This book solves that problem by putting all of that Route 66 information in one volume which I can easily take along and refer to, so that each Mother Road excursion can be as jam-packed as possible.

  1. Don’t forget Drew’s great website at Route 66 University. Among other interesting things you can find, there are postcards from Rt 66 you can e-mail to friends.

    A friend just gave me this new edition. I look forward to perusing it.
