I saw this link from Brian Butko on Facebook this week and thought others here would want to put it on their reading lists as soon as it comes out:
Grand View Ship Hotel
Please keep us posted Brian.

Been meaning to say Thanks!, Dave. The Ship was probably the best-known attraction along the Lincoln Highway. It burned in 2001 and many on this board probably never got to see it, but it's a great story that's representative of other roadside businesses born in the 1920s, how they thrived into the ’50s, and how they struggled in recent decades.

I've been doing more and more of my books' designs and finally got to do all of this one (except for the cover and any changes needed to conform to specs) so I made the photos large. There are some wonderful images loaned by the founding family and the owner the last few decades.

It's off to the printer now and expected early in 2010.
