The Power of Pittsburgh is Plentiful of Pictures!

Pittsburgh.It is a marvelous city that I visited back in 2004 for New Year's Eve. I enjoyed my time watching the city from the hills. I decided to purchase this book just to remember Pittsburgh by. I am glad I did. Wonderful pictures and a brief history of what made this city the great city it is! If you are a Pittsburgh resident or have visited it in the past then I recommend this book. Thanks for the memories Pittsburgh!!

Excellent book for Pittsburgh lovers

This is a fantastic book with high quality photographs. Anyone who has been to Pittsburgh recently is at least impressed and some like me fall in love with the great city of Pittsburgh. This book explains why. Those who have never been to Pittsburgh are always surprised when I say it is my favorite urban city in the U.S., those who have been to Pittsburgh are never surprised. This is the only book about Pittsburgh of this scale. It covers almost every building and every major business like no other book has attempted to do. The quality of the photographs is outstanding work by Thomas Bell who has photographed Pittsburgh for many years and is a Pittsburgh native. The size of the photographs is very pleasing too. He certainly succeeds in capturing the beauty, mystique and soul of this marvelous city. I lived in Pittsburgh for a number of years. This is a city that has inspired me to be a better person, to always aim for what's best, not what's average. This book brings to life the beauty and glory of this American city from people to architecture to businesses and landmarks that make this city unique.
