I wasn't really very interested in Route 66 until my wife and I got interested in it during a trip to Arizona. We found this book and it became vital to finding sections of the old road and looking for certain landmarks along the way. When we moved from Texas we used this book to follow part of old Route 66 and we had a great time of it. Well worth the effort to find it!

The Route 66: EZ66 Guide for Travelers is a must but the Collector's Edition: Roadside Companion, with the Corvette and Model "T" picture on the cover is Great to have too. Also nice to include Here It Is! The Route 66 Map Series to make the collecton complete!

Excellent and informative. It would be impossible to find some parts of the old road without it.

The companion I did not find as helpful and did not use it on my trip down route 66. The book that this companion goes with was enough. I found the route 66 map from AAA a better companion with the book and is what I used on my trip.

Close on the heals of hosting the (KABC & ABC) classic television program "The Stars of Jazz," uniquely cool vocalist Bobby Troup brings from the show a top flight crew of side men for this remarkable album. Among those musicians, for example: on sax, Benny Carter and Bud Shank; on trumpet, the Candoli brothers and Shorty Rogers; on drums, Shelly Manne and Mel Lewis; on guitar, Barney Kessel... you get the idea. The 12 standards Bobby covers include "I'm Through With Love," "Perdido" and "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby." The only downside is that this great songwriter ("Route 66," "Daddy," "The Meaning Of The Blues"...) only sings one of his own on this album, "Free and Easy" (which he co-wrote with Henry Mancini). The arrangements are superlative and if you haven't been introduced to Bobby Troup's vocalizing (called "ultra-sophisticated" by several critics), start here. If you love West Coast and/or Cool Jazz, this is worth every nickel.
