Customer Reviews: Fun, colorful, informative history of early NE motoring October 22, 1999 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
What a great book. Historic pictures and humorous butknowledgable writing bring you through the early days of New Englanddiners, gas stations, post cards, roadmaps, clam shacks, tea rooms, rest cabins, even collectible matchbooks! A real treat that brings you back to a simpler (and better) time. Stories of past establishments, and great personal research as to "what ever happened to" these places. Whenever I want a good escape from the stress of today, I pick up my copy and just love it each time. Try writing the author for a copy at bramhall terrace, portland maine, or look up his other great nostalgia/travel/beer history books. He's got a neat niche.
