A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

One of the best Route 66 road guides, organized state by state, then town by town. Great fold-out laminated map. Has ALL of the quirky roadside attractions and attractions just a short distance off the Mother Road.
My edition was a few years older than this edition, but I've used it on 3 different trips.

Good start. I would have enjoyed more detail about each place featured along Route 66.

Checked out the eBook edition from the library to help plan a trip to Oklahoma. The longest stretch of continuous Rte. 66 that remains is between Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Despite that, this guide devotes only three slim pages to that stretch. There's a hyper link to the Oklahoma Route 66 website, but when I went there for more details, I found I'd have to purchase their self-published guide.
I ended up going to Barnes & Noble where I found the much more thorough Moon Route 66 Road Trip which provides a lot more detail. About 22 pages on the stretch between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, with details on a lot of sites off Rte.66 in the cities it passes through.

Very useful for our Route 66 drive. A bit difficult to use if you drive the reverse direction ie. LA to Chicago. would be more useful if some distances between locations were included in the book.
