This is a really substantial, solid book that has nice binding, clear and attractive pictures and plenty of info about the demographics and attractions of New Orleans.
It's a classy book which is one of those keepsakes you would be proud to pull out and use as a conversation piece whenever the big easy came up.
I can honestly say this book was well worth the money.

The French Quarter, by Jim Fraiser is one of countless books written about that unique, New Orleans neighborhood. It does stand out, however. In my opinion, it's the most comprehensive, beautiful book I've ever seen on the Quarter. West Freeman's photography is outstanding! Happilly, practically every major building is photographed. The history of the Quarter and of the architecture of the buildings is excellent and scholarly. I highly reccommend this magisterial book!

fabulous book of highest quality photos and descriptions. beautifully wrapped, brand new and perfect as a coffe table book and as a resource to all the landmarks in the quarter.

This is much more than a picture book.

Mr. Fraiser really has done a great job of his research for writing about the French Quarter. I have read many books on this subject, but no authority on the subject, and found more information about the history that I did not know. The pictures are very clear and well done. This is one of the best coffee table books I have. When I placed the book on my coffee table, the colors added so much to the room.

The friends that have seen this book wanted to know where I got the book so they could order order one.

If you like New Orleans or if you think about going to New Orleans, this is the perfect book for you. Wonderful pictures to review or to plan a trip to New Orleans

Let me first say that this is a wonderful book, with wonderful photographs and interesting text, the books images really capture the Quarter, they are quite vivid and well thought out, more beautiful historic buildings at every turn of the page and thank God it was spared the wrath of Katrina, but this review is about the Cresent City.
