Printed in China? for a book about a MAJOR US Landmark?

I was disapointed to see a book about a US NATIONAL LANDMARK printed in China. This fact is not mentioned in the amazon.com description.

This book was not produced by an "insider" - that is, by someone who lives/lived in the area or traveled US 66 frequently. Instead, it's an international group. Now I suppose that makes it easier with which to plan a trip given that I too, am an outsider (from the US 66 area of the United States). But please, let's print something so near and dear to many hearts of many Americans, right here in the United States. Please.

Also, the color maps: Convenient, very tiny (I purchased a larger, hand-drawn map series together with this book). However, on these maps, it's very difficult to discern between the "original" US 66 route and the "alternate" or "updated" route, as they're in the same (purple) color. The original have more of a haze, and the revised, a more "crisp" color border around the roadway on the map. Perhaps a more contrasting color scheme could have been used.

Great Travel Help.

Found this a great help on our cross-country trip in May 06.

Essential for a Route 66 Road Trip

If you're heading out on a tour of the Mother Road, take this with you. Along with listings for sites you won't find in some other guides, this book also has addresses and phone numbers so you can contact hotels, etc., in advance.

When I was setting up my agenda for a Route 66 tour, this is the only place I found a reference to "Elmer's Place." Check it out when you're on the road...

Get your kicks! Leave the interstate behind and explore this classic American drive with its vintage roadside attractions and stunning natural beauty. Follow the "mother road" 2200 miles from Chicago to LA, and discover America along the way.

* Eclectic Americana - see the Gemini Giant, the Cadillac Ranch, the Jackrabbit Trading Post and countless other Route 66 icons

* Natural Treasures - explore the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, the Grand Canyon and the Mojave Desert

* Historic Sights - visit Civil War battle fields, presidential homes, Native American pueblos and Old West towns

* Where to Stay - bed down in a wigwam, a 1930s motor court or a room fit for the King

* Road Food - load up on apple pie, BBQ, fried chicken, milkshakes, chili and gigantic steaks

* Trusty Maps - find hidden stretches of the old road with our detailed maps and directions
