$49

A twelve-lane behemoth cutting through the least scenic parts of the Garden State, the New Jersey Turnpike may lack the romantic allure of other highways, but it might be a more accurate symbol of American life, representing the nation at both its best and its worst.

When first written in 1989, the authors aimed to share their fascination with the road. To their surprise it became a classic and was recognized as one of the ten best books about New Jersey. Now the updated and expanded edition offers a reflection on the turnpike’s evolution over the past thirty-five years, showcasing its impact and cultural significance as an inspiration for signers and poets and the many lives it was impacted.
