Title: Great pictures
Review: I must say that, in my opinion, the author has captured the essence of a "Then and Now" book by 95 percent. The pictures are great and, from a historical standpoint, enable the reader to go back in time and imagine oneself in the scene. However, when you put together a project like this, the author should ask herself "In 30 years, will a reader be able to pick this book up and and appreciate the historical tidbits of information I presented?" My point: there are WAY too many of her "present" pictures that include the name of the tourists smiling for her camera! Will a reader now, or in 30 years, care about the names of these people? I think every aspect of a book like this should be of historical interest and more ink should be spent on image information, not names of random people that wandered in to her photos.I am addicted to Then And Now books and, other than the minor problem stated above, I loved this book and would recommend it.
Is the review positive or negative?
