Review

"Beautifully laid out on 48 informative pages... These books will become favorites of budding historians, architects, engineers, and their parents!"
--Christian Library Journal (December 2001) (UNKNOWN )

"Written in an interesting style, they include clear black-and-white and full-color photographs of the construction process and feature sidebars that give information on related topics of interest . . . . All three titles are good additions for larger collections and for those libraries with regional interest in the subjects."

This review is from: Building America - Gateway Arch (Hardcover)

The Gateway Arch has many beautiful pictures. It tells why the arch was invented and whose idea it was to be an arch. This book shows every step of the arch being built and it is a very beautiful sight from the book. I highly recommend this book to others, because it is a very educational book. It gives a very excellent description of the arch.This is my first book about a real place with such beauty and I do believe it is the best educationl book.
