Review
Jack Evans' "Little History" of Seattle's Pike Place Market is a complete picture of the events, history and characters of Seattle's bustling waterfront tourist attraction. Evans' history stretches from the Market's earliest days, when farmers and merchants paid rents of 25 cents a day to sell their fish, fruit, vegetables, antiques, jewelry and second hand goods.... -- Capitol Hill Times
