This book is a good collection of history and descriptions of Alaska's south-central Kenai Peninusula. It's nicely organized town by town (though it doesn't have an index), and though it's fairly deferential to the area--as if it was written by the Alaska Bureau of Tourism--it's not afraid to tell about things like the whorehouse that was until very recently right outside of Soldotna.
It's full of good photos and, though it sometimes feels like a magazine in book form, is a very nice volume for fans of the Kenai to buy and treasure.
I've been researching a book that I want to write on Soldotna, Alaska, and the information in this book was very helpful to me. I think anyone that lives on this peninsula, or that's visited there, would enjoy it as well.
