Great Volume In A Great Series,
By Notnadia (Currently upstairs.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cincinnati Revealed: A Photographic Heritage of the Queen City (OH) (Images of America) (Paperback)
Preserving our photographic history is important, and displaying this heritage for the public is a worthy endeavor. This book, like the other titles in this series, does a great job of showcasing my hometown, as other titles in the Images of America series also do with cities and various other subjects across America. These books are worth ten times the price and are the sort of rewarding read that almost anyone, old or young, can enjoy.
