I used this book on a recent motorcycle trip on Route 66. Most route books are written to take you westbound from Chicago but this one can be used for traveling either direction. The spiral binding along with the overview and detail strip maps make the route especially easy to follow, even on sections where there are many turns, such as in Missouri. The details allow the traveler to find even difficult places on abandoned sections of road, such as the "sidewalk highway" in Oklahoma and "John's Modern Cabins" in Missouri. For those traveling with children the book even contains "scavenger hunts" and other games to keep them interested. Highly recommended... if you plan to travel the "Mother Road" or just want to dream about it get this book!

An invaluable tool for travelling Route 66 from beginning to end, as important as your vehicle. This book will keep you on track, informed, and make things "EZ" for you. I just used this book on a two-week trip (Sept 2006), and couldn't imagine doing it without this guide. (Although Illinois is very well signed and easy to follow on it's own.)

Get this, as well as the "Route 66 Adventure Handbook", and you'll be armed with all you need for a fun and complete trip down The Mother Road. I can't recommend these books strongly enough!

I can't, however, recommend the "Route 66 Lodging/Dining Guide", as it was a real let-down for us. Incomplete in some sections, useless in others. (the recommended "Lincoln Motel" in Chandler OK was a filthy dump!) Just find your lodging & dining as you go along the route, and don't be afraid to try the various offerings along the way. You might be pleasantly surprised! (Ask to see rooms before you check in, though.)

Oh, and be sure to check the EZ66 author's updates before leaving! (He offers up to date info that didn't make it into the book.)

This book has all that I want to undertake a 2-3 week drive along the entire length of Route 66. The maps are comprehensive without overburdening the traveller with too much detail. There are alternative routes suggested and the major roads are clearly indicated if you have to catch up time or move around an accident site or similar long-delay issue. There are restaurant reviews and accommodations suggestions. Must-see locales are clearly indicated and there are many common-sense points made as well. I like the book-size format rather than the large fold-out map. We are really lookinfg forward to doing Route 66 and expect that EZ66 will be the bible on the seat for our vacation.

In many places Route 66 is not marked or easy to find, so if you're going to take a Route 66 trip, you'll want the best guide. The EZ66 Guide is it. I've seen most of the maps and guides for Route 66 and this is by far, the best!! It is easy to use going west or east, it has spiral binding which makes it easy to keep open to any page while you're driving along and it shows you some of the older stretches of the route too. We don't have young kids, but the games look fun... O.K. we played a few!! The author's wonderful artwork is an added plus!!
