121 pages. Bibliography. "In lively text and more than 250 photographs, most in color, Margolies brings to life the new style of lodging that sprung up to serve the automobile traveler, from auto camps and mom-and-pop tourist cabins early in the century to today's familiar motel chains. Along the way, he highlights many of the services and amenities - the decor, the swimming pools, the restaurants, and the pulsating signs - used to lure motorists into the nearest Kozy Kottage." - from dust jacket.
