This 530 page guide is essential to anyone interested in the history of Arizona's highway system. There are maps of the state and many cities, and mile-by-mile tours of Arizona's major highways.

• Arizona Place Names, by Will C. Barnes, University of Arizona Press 1988, ISBN 0-8165-1074-1. This reprint of Barnes' 1935 book is still the definitive word on how Arizona got names like Mistake Peak or Wrong Mountain.
• Route 66 Magazine. This is a real treat for road geeks. Although US 66 is the main focus, this quarterly magazine also features stories on other historic highways or bridges.
