Route 66 in Illinois - Hardcover

By Joe Sonderman and Cheryl Eichar Jett

Cheryl Eichar Jett is an American author, playwright, and journalist with seven previous books, including Route 66 in Illinois and hundreds of published articles. Known for her Route 66 and travel writing for Arcadia Publishing, Quarto, and ROUTE Magazine, she earned a graduate degree in history from SIUE. For 10 years, Jett has traced the crossroads of women's history with Route 66 and has directed two productions of her stage play based on that research.

Author Joe Sonderman has assembled hundreds of nostalgic images of Arizona's Route 66 and detailed histories of the attractions found along the way. Many images from his collection of 5,000 vintage Route 66 postcards have never been published before. These pictures of natural wonders, mom-and-pop businesses, bustling main streets, and good old-fashioned tourist traps recall a time when getting there was half the fun. Arizona may be the most spectacular state on Route 66, and the visuals are as stunning as the stories behind them.
