The Magic of Anthony Schmidt: Photos That Captivated Millions & a Journey That Changed Everything.

Anthony isn't just photographing Route 66.

He's preserving a piece of American history.

Known around the world for his incredibly realistic miniature photography, Anthony has spent years creating photographs that fool millions into believing they're looking at full-sized classic cars.

For Route 66's 100th anniversary, he took that same passion on the road, traveling more than 2,400 miles across eight states to document the people, landmarks, roadside attractions, forgotten places, and timeless beauty of America's most iconic highway.

The result is a stunning new coffee table book filled with photographs, stories, and memories that celebrate Route 66 before its centennial passes into history.

What if the Magic of Route 66 Disappeared?

The neon signs. The roadside motels. The diners, landmarks and small towns that make the Mother Road unlike anywhere else in America.

Anthony created this book to preserve those places in photographs, but he also wanted the project to give something back to the road that inspired it.

That’s why a portion of proceeds from every book supports the Route 66 Preservation and Economic Development Grant Program.

✓ Historic landmarks worth protecting
✓ Small communities worth supporting
✓ Stories worth carrying forward

Every purchase helps support Route 66 preservation and economic development.
