Full of Charm from Days Gone-By

From 1917 bathing beauties from Alemeda, CA to the Saltair Pavilion near Salt Lake City, UT, this little book contains 24 "Authentic Old Postcards -Ready to Mail" (I don't know anyone who buys these type of books intending to tear out such cards - they are great to look at).I like to take it off my shelf & look at it every time I think about what people miss today (especially kids)with TV, Gameboys and so on). It is a shame people don't seem to all pile in the family jalopy & head off to the beach as they used to - I know going to new and foreign sites expands horizons, but this book brings back the "Old Days" - even if I am too young to actually ever have seen the places depicted on these cards.If you want a charming (suitably color tinted) look at yesteryear, I recommend this!
