"Signed presentation to Vincent Astor, the son of John Jacob Astor IV, dated 20 March 1940. Profusely illustrated, approximately 187 photographs, maps and plans. An early, influential road classic the truth of which remains fixed fifty years later. Bel Geddes in his opening chapter says, "The real trouble with American highways in the simple fact that they are not designed for teh traffic they bear." --description from Royoung Bookseller Inc.
