5.0 out of 5 stars Great style...the Mark Twain of the Midwest!, November 14, 2002

This review is from: Cleveland; the best kept secret

George Condon coined the phrase "The Best Kept Secret" that has since become synonymous with Cleveland (no longer the Mistake on the Lake!). This book is his masterpiece, a compilation of history, familiar names and faces, and the toungue in cheek humanism that made his column a household institution in Cleveland for a quarter century. This book may be out of print, but it is worth the time and energy to get your hands on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Cleveland, the Best Kept Secret" shouldn't be a secret, July 4, 2005

This is another wonderful book from the pen of George Condon, long-time columnist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and living legend of local journalists. He's very knowledgeable of local politics, honest in his appraisals and highly entertaining all the time. You should buy a copy of this book and prepare for a really great read. If you cannot find it right away, it's also available as an e-book at Cleveland State University's Cleveland Memory Project (sorry, I'm not allowed to give you the direct address).
