A Jog Down Memory Lane.
During my college years, I worked summers at the Lake Placid Club (1958-1961) and so I looked forward to reading descriptions of the village of Lake Placid, then and now. I was not disappointed. The book features photographs of commercial buildings, homes, etc. in Lake Placid "in the old days" and what each of them has now become. The text is succinct and to the point...

Lake Placid
This is a nice book for pictures. If you're looking for in-depth history or any other kind of information, this is not the book for you. The photos are still very beautiful.

The book features photographs of commercial buildings, homes, etc. in Lake Placid "in the old days" and what each of them has now become. The text is succinct and to the point. Photos are great, research seems top-notch. I wish there had been a bit more detail about the Club, but I have David Ackerman's book for that. A fold-out map, or a map on the inside cover, of the village with landmarks as they stand now would have helped for one whose memory of this charming place has faded over the past 50 years. Overall, a delightful and easy read.
