Other titles in the discussion series include Michael Wallis Route 66: The Mother Road and Route 66 Remembered by Michael Witzel. The places Cobb features, by the way (except Jubal's ghost town), are mostly actual, including the ghost lights of Quapaw. The book is quite popular with the library reading groups. Too bad the publisher didn't put the '57 Chevy on the cover--not Cobb's fault!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-35661310952222724762008-10-18T07:47:00.000-05:002008-10-18T07:47:00.000-05:00Tomas,Thanks for the info about the Pulaski storie...Tomas,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info about the Pulaski stories. I'll definitely check out the one that's on-line. Sorry I can't help with other recommendations. This is probably the first book I've read featuring hot rods since CRASH CLUB by Henry Gregor Felson, which I read in high school many years ago.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-33305975627409278322008-10-18T07:28:00.000-05:002008-10-18T07:28:00.000-05:00Cool review, James.

Loved it. I look forward to WEST ON 66.<BR/><BR/>Ed LynskeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-65562977124118716042008-10-17T14:56:00.000-05:002008-10-17T14:56:00.000-05:00Because i love Hot rods and American Muscle Cars i...Because i love Hot rods and American Muscle Cars i really loved this book, James Cobb has written several short stories featuring the protagonist from this book, Kevin Pulaski as a young teenage Hot Rodder, most of them published in EQMM, one can be found online here: http://www2.ups.edu/arches/1999SummerFall/justice.htm<BR/>Maybe you James as some other recommendations of books featuring American Muscle Cars and Hot Rods?<BR/>Tomas/SwedenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-79447928564742183842008-10-17T09:58:00.000-05:002008-10-17T09:58:00.000-05:00Thanks, James.
