Title: Inaccuracies Ruin It
Review: This book is a collection of old photos matched to new photos supposedly taken of the same locations as they appear today.Unfortunately, there are some very blatant errors. Certain photos look, at first glance, like the same location. But quite a few are actually not. And some that do match the location are taken from a different vantage point, making it hard to understand what exactly you are looking at. I do not believe that the authors reside in the Twin Cities, which may explain the sloppiness.The photographs (both old and new) are nice, hence the two stars. But Larry Millett, a local architecture critic, created a far better volume which was impeccably researched and meticulously rephotographed. Skip this one, and seek out Millett's "Twin Cities: Then and Now" instead.+
