I write books about traveling old roads and the neat places you'll find along them. My newest, written with my wife Sarah, is Roadside Attractions. Similar books and websites are available, many of them fabulous, but we try to put these places in context, pin down the correct facts and directions, and make it approachable for those just getting interested.
Brand new is Roadside Attractions.
Due out in 2009 is Lincoln Highway Companion.
Planned for 2010 is a book on the Grand View Ship Hotel.
Other books include:
• Roadside Giants
• Greetings from the Lincoln Highway
• Diners of Pennsylvania
• Klondikes, Chipped Ham, and Skyscraper Cones: The Story of Isaly's
I also administer www.lincolnhighwaynews.com

"Brian and his wife are friendly, interesting people with enjoyable pictures and their descriptions go into depth. Thorough, kind, fun people who also happen to take some real American vernacular type photos, bringing joy and nostalgia to many. I'm one of the many.
