Nice Book

This is a very good book with excellent text for some really neat picture post-cards. Especially liked the ones on the restaurants that are long gone ie Horn and Hardarts......

Interesting and useful

Invaluable for Philadelphia architectural history, this book has scenes and information that I've not found in other Philadelphia photo/achitecture books. Looses a star for only black and white reproduction when some of the postcards were quite obviously originally in color. Recommended.
