content: Unfortunately, this book was done on the cheap from someone who apparently doesn't know the cities (or at least Minneapolis) very well.The reason it feels cheap is that all of the Minneapolis "then" pictures are available on the website of the Minneapolis Public library. While there's nothing wrong with the library as a source, I suspect that the research for this book took all of an afternoon. I'd hope for something more interesting than what I could easily find myself, some unique -- or at least not easily accessible -- knowledge of the city. This book provides neither.It's also riddled with inaccurate "now" pictures; there are at least three instances in Minneapolis where the "now" picture was taken at least a block from the original picture -- and from a completely different angle.I'd recommend Larry Millet's "Twin Cities Then and Now" as a much better alternative.
