The 1950s and '60s were the halcyon days of the American Dream. Life was easier, safer and altogether more innocent. Nowhere was this more apparent than the freeway, that symbol of the growth of American prosperity. Motels: American Retro is a wonderfully evocative collection of photographs celebrating the motels that were the landmarks of these great highways. Together with a selection of witty and nostalgic quotes, this charming book is a perfect gift for those who remember.
