If you're seeking a visual history of Children's Hospital Boston, this is what you're looking for. Many, many priceless pictures from the hospital's evolution, interspersed with very informative essays. I bought a used copy, but would have had no qualms buying "new" if nothing else were available. Perhaps it is my personal connection creating bias, but this book was worth every penny.
