5 out of 5 stars Great Nostalgic Reminder and History   December 20, 2003
Having grown up in a family that on both sides was into the gas/oil biz in someway, this is special!

Well done with just great photos and art. The written commentary is well done also, flowing in between the graphics and following chronologically the development of this industry giant.

There is just a wealth of neat stuff in this for all of us who can delve back in time to these great stations!


3 out of 5 stars Very kitschy!   June 15, 2000

I bought a couple copies for graduation gifts, just to be silly. I also bought one for myself, and I send a postcard whenever I wish I had the time and resources to take a road trip across America. It's not your normal postcard book!
