Gruber is a casual and enthusiastic writer and states up front that he is relatively new to the subject. Its nuggets of information are concise and perfectly appropriate for a beginning student. The photographs alone are worth the price of the book but if you're looking to identify the synagogues and the details in the photos, you may have to do a bit of wandering since the captions are scattered about and are set in very small type. Put aside your qualms about the editorial judgements and the publisher's intent and enjoy this book if you can find it.
