Roadside Memories: A Collection of Vintage Gas Station Photographs (Schiffer Book for Collectors & Historians)

Rating:
Summary: History ok, small geography of pictures
Review: This book offers a very basic history of the gas companies. The picures in the book are almost all from Tennessee. I do not feel that the pictures choosen offer a fair representation of "vintage gas stations." I believe that the book could have been much more appealing had the authors chosen to use pictures from all over the country. They speak of stations located in California and the northeast yet there are very little pictures from either region. Also most of the pictures in the book were taken in the 1950s and 60s, there are few older photos.
