Gas Stations Coast to Coast

Rating:
Summary: A Good Effort, but not perfect
Review: A fine book on the American Gas Station. But pales in comparison to "Pump & Circumstance" by Margolies. Witzel's book contains no less than 61 photos of present-day abandoned gas stations, or rusting forlorn gas pumps. A few of these photos would be appropriate in this type of book. But 61! It really makes the book depressing to read. Gas station fans want to see colorful period photos of the stations in their prime.

Summary: Go decades back and simply enjoy!
Review: This incredible book takes you back to the very start of the gas station's birth. There are a lot of great pictures which make you feel that you are just inches away from the pump and the service attendants. The book contents beautiful descriptions of what a gas station was like now and then, mostly then of course. Allow yourself to be sentimental, but make sure you have a handkerchief available, you might need it!
