Books & Magnets 2026 Design Catalog — Route 66 Memorabilia and Self-Published Works by David Wickline
Key Points
- David Wickline has spent nearly thirty years immersed in Route 66 culture, turning field observations and digital imagery into a self-published book sequence that began with Images of 66 in 2005 and expanded to subsequent editions and related guides. He continued with travel books, culminating in a comprehensive Illinois Route 66 history volume and wholesale availability through an order form, with autographed copies sold directly; (page not available).
- To support merchants who couldn't afford to stock his books, Wickline launched a merchandise line featuring Route 66 magnets and pins. The collection has grown to roughly 140 designs, with 1-inch pieces about the size of a quarter and larger 2.25-inch pieces comparable to a can, including custom designs for participating retailers. A Wooden Frame Magnet Display Board was created to showcase either 20 of the larger magnets or 121 of the smaller ones, facilitating in-person sales; (page not available).
- The current catalog presents the 2026 Design Catalog – 100th Anniversary Edition, detailing the magnet assortment pictured on the cover and the wholesale framework that supports retailers. Wickline continues to travel the Route 66 corridor, promoting both books and memorabilia while expanding the merchandise lineup and on-the-road sales opportunities; (page not available).
