Description Description Here We Are . . . on Route 66 provides the fascinating histories of iconic landmarks and cultural touchstones associated with America’s most famous highway—and celebrates lesser-known gems just off the beaten path.
Spanning nearly 2,500 miles and eight states—Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California—America’s Main Street has given rise to a colorful assortment of roadhouses, motels, greasy spoons, roadside amusements, and breathtaking natural scenery. Acclaimed Route 66 historian Jim Hinckley offers a carefully curated selection of these sites, ranging from the iconic to the revelatory.
Arranged by classic Route 66 topics, is a beautifully produced history rather than a guidebook. Each spread gives you a different 66 site or attraction, along with a concise and authoritative history illustrated with colorful photography, evocative historical imagery, and collectibles like postcards, ads, and more. Topics include:
Hinckley is perhaps the most internationally recognized authority on the subjectof America’s Main Street.

Hinckley also treats you to a fresh look at lesser known but deserving attractions.
We're obsessed with presentation. That's why no one wraps like we do. We believe a beautifully wrapped present communicates thought and effort. Wrapping is our art so the details are very important. We start by choosing a paper that coordinates with the gift. Kids gifts get playful, rainbow designs while adult's presents get a more sophisticated style. Then we complete the look with matching ribbons, bows, and embellishments. Our goal is to make the present look so beautiful that the recipient doesn't want to open it.
