An excellent follow up

If you are interested in nostalga and/or drive in theatres, this is an excellent book. You may remember that Don and Susan Sanders came out with an excellent coffee table book entitled: "The American Drive-in Theatre." The original book was packed with previously lost photographs and memories of the drive in theatre. Don and Susans latest work, "Drive in Memories : Popcorn and Romance Under the Stars," while physically smaller, is full of additional pictures and information about the drive-in theatres of yesterday. The new book is well written and edited. It will make a worthy edition to any one interested in the drive-in theatre.

...and hear the crickets. What a trip! Although drive-ins survive today, only a select few go to the trouble to capture the essence of the hey-day of the drive-in theatre. What is lacking in reality has been captured on paper. I didn't know what the Sanders could do to add to their previous book, The American Drive-In Movie Theater, but I was pleasantly surprised. I stayed up until I was finished one night. I simply couldn't put it down. Well done Don and Susan. -Stu Megaw (the Traveling Drive-In Enthusiast)

The Sanders have perfectly captured the essence of the drive-in movie theatre. My own work on the subject has given me the chance to verify that Drive-in Movie Memories is a celebration of outdoor movies! It is even better than their first book.
Great pictures!

The photos in the book are just great. They made me think back about my great childhood memories of going to the drive-in with my family.
Do not loan this book to friends..............

If you do loan this book to friends you will never get it back! If the authors will allow me to say so, I think they have exceeded their first book on the subject. More colour and an overall view of the drive-in industry as opposed to just the theatres themselves ensures this is the benchmark for other books on the subject.June Wilkinson, Natalie Wood and Happy Hammond all vist the drive-in in this new book and remind us of the time when drive-ins were the glamour place to go in town. International drive-ins from all over the globe are recognised also in this new book.See you at the playground!
