Summary: a fun read
Comment: John Margolies is a man with a passion for popular culture. Not only has he written this book but he's also written books on the American travel brochure, the roadmap, gas stations, motels, roadsigns and miniature golf. His books are a worthy addition to any library. Not only is he a photographer but he is also an excellent writer, with warmth and affection for his subject.

Rating: 5
Summary: True to its name
Comment: Anyone who enjoys the road and its culture--past and present--will enjoy reading Fun Along the Road. It evokes great memories of those road trips of yesteryear. I own a lot of books on roadside Americana and have a few others by John Margolies. He is an excellent author and photographer. I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great pictures and contemporary history
Comment: Margolies is a photographer, but he provides not just books of photographs but well-written contemporary history to go with them.

This book is about roadside attractions, some long gone, some still hanging on, and some thriving. It inspired me to spend two weeks driving all over Florida trying to catch some of these places before they vanish forever.

Miniature golf, a favorite subject of the author, gets special coverage.

This book and his previous Home Away From Home are inspirational if you travel and still fascinating if you don't.
