M. Scott "avid reader" (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grand Old Texas Theaters: That Won't Quit (Paperback)
This is a great, very well organized and researched book.

The theaters described cover Texas and provide a guide to the culture and history of the State.

The photos are majestic, with a haunting quality that makes me want to take my son on a cross-state trip to see the theaters and learn about his Texas heritage.

I wish the book had more detail about the fascinating photos. Some are not dated.
