5.0 out of 5 stars surprisingly exciting - great index too!, July 8, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Covering Iowa: The History of the Des Moines Register and Tribune Company, 1849-1985 (Hardcover)
I thought this would be a dull read but was pleasantly surprised to find it anything but boring. The history spans a time of great changes in Iowa and the midwest and the newspaper industry. The exemplary index is a wonderful aid to this book.
