Description: You are considering an oversized or trade paperback book, ROUTE 66 IN MADISON COUNTY by Cheryl Eichar Jett; PUBLISHER: Arcadia Publishing, Charleston, SC; 2010 copyright; 127 pages. Route 66 zigzagged southwest across Madison County, Illinois, before crossing the Mississippi River into Missouri. Various alignments of this segment of the Mother Road rolled through pastoral farmland, headed down main streets, and later straightened as it bypassed towns. From 1926 to 1977, the path of the highway changed numerous times and crossed the Mississippi River on no less than five different bridges. Along the way motorists watched for the blue neon cross on St. Pauls Lutheran Church to guide their nighttime travel; they counted on the doors of the Tourist Haven, Cathcarts, or the Luna Cafto be open for business. Travelers crossed their fingers that they wouldnt get stuck at the bend of the Chain of Rocks Bridge and hoped they could make it up Mooney Hill in the winter. A later alignment took motorists right by Fairmount Park and Monks Mound. Condition: Water damage on some of the pages toward the back of the book. No other known damage.

SHIPPING TIME I try to ship no later than the next business day after payment. Due to volume, however, I have a noon cut-off, so, if your payment is received after 12:00 noon, it will not be mailed until at least the next business day. Saturdays and Sundays are not business days. Occasionally, I am out of town on Fridays or Mondays. Packages that will be traveling by FedEx Ground or UPS may take an extra day to get shipped as I am not close to their drop-off locations. S/H For MULTIPLE PURCHASES: I will combine multiple items whenever possible and normally reduce total shipping costs. IMPORTANT!!!!!! International Shipping: Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. I will not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" as US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
