This review is from: Delaware 24/7 (Hardcover)

I really enjoyed this book, it gave an overall pictoral "view" of Delaware. Work and play, north to south and included many interesting photos from all sorts of fields of endeavor, business, careers, and people from all types of professions. It had many hobbiest including Wilmington's, Denny Burton, who carves beautiful images in wood with basic hand tools. Nice to see many photos of people you recognize and even nicer to discover a few new ones. A nice gift book at $25, but even nicer when you get them for $5 at Amazon.
