BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Over several years, four fairly famous men took road trips in a Model T through various parts of the USA and “roughed” it. Over the years the four attracted more attention, especially when Edison released the home movies of the adventures to the theaters and others started taking their own road trips.

The quirky illustrations are such fun – I don’t know what the style is called, but I certainly like it. I like the original photos and back matter too. I’m just not sure how this would be useful in the long term, but somebody should find this a place.
