Official Automobile Blue Book, Vol. 8

This document is The Automobile Blue Book Volume 8 (1920), a motorist's guidebook covering California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona with extension routes into adjoining states. Rather than containing pulp fiction stories, the volume comprises practical automotive travel information: detailed route maps with numbered automobile routes, running turn-by-turn directions with mileages between terminals, lists of hotels and garage accommodations organized by town, state motor laws, information on national parks (including Yosemite, Crater Lake, and Grand Canyon), ferry schedules, and points of historical interest. The front matter explains how to use the route charts and general index. Numerous advertisements throughout promote tire brands (Syra-Cord, Hood, Michelin), automotive accessories (Rayntite automobile tops, Du Pont Fabrikoid upholstery), and gasoline retailers, targeting automobile owners planning cross-country touring.
