A Great Photographic History

Seeing an old building torn down is like losing a friend to me. This books is like a family photo album of the dead and gone that you never knew but with lots of great historical information. If it's obscure St. Louise history your looking for, look no further. I am a trasplant to St. Louis and reading this book is like hooking up with a local whose in the know. Not only do you get the history and a photo of each building but you also get St. Louis' own history as well. I highly recommend it to anyone regardless of whether you have a connection to St. Louis or not. I will read and re-read this one again and again.

St. Louis Lost is Found

For native St. Louisans with a taste for history, this is a pictorial marvel. The photographs and accompanying stories of early St. Louis landmarks are fascinating. The book clearly takes the reader from the earliest days of the city, thru its glory days, and finally, to the remaining examples of those days.
