“Route 66 Sightings,” a new photo book by Jim Ross, Shellee Graham, and Jerry McClanahan, will make its debut from noon to 3 p.m. Oct. 29 at POPS in Arcadia, Okla.
Ross said in an email:
The book is now in production, and we received our two advance copies yesterday. The quality and the overall presentation has exceeded our expectations. It is absolutely beautiful.
Sample pages of the book can be seen here. The 200-page coffee-table book is a collection of photographs the trio have collected over the years on Route 66, some dating to the early 1980s.
The book retails for $49.95 and can be purchased in advance here, if you can’t make it to the book event. The book also will be available in an iPad edition for $14.99 from MyTabletBooks.com.
The second, updated edition of Ross’ indispensable “Oklahoma Route 66” guidebook also should be published in October.

I got my copy of Jerry, Jim and Shellee’s book yesterday. It is a great piece of work by these three. The photographs are superb but what makes the book are the personal recollections about the photographs. I am proud to add this to my ever-growing library of Route 66 publications.
