Bob Moore, executive editor of Route 66 Magazine, has alerted the Route 66 yahoogroup about two new books. I’m quoting him here:
“Oatman: History, Recipes and Ghost Stories,” by Jackie Rowland. Many of you know Jackie as the proprieter of Fast Fanny’s Place in Oatman, Ariz. Well, she is now an author of a great book about Oatman, the mining camps, area history and receipes (check out mine: Bob’s Wake-Up Specialty) and ghost stories about the little town that just won’t give up. …
“Route 66 Place Names,” by Paul Taylor. This one has been long needed, and Paul steps to the forefront with a book about virtually every town along all the alignments of Route 66 from Chicago to L.A. The book provides information about the history of each community, when the post office was established and the origin of the name. …
Taylor, incidentally, is co-publisher of Route 66 Magazine. I added links to the books from Amazon.com, but the books also also are available for sale at the magazine’s online gift shop.
