5.0 out of 5 stars
Stunning book, February 14, 2006
This review is from: The st Louis Streetcar Story (Interurbans Special) (Hardcover)
This is a specatacular book.
It reads like a novel and is very, very detailed.
Print of text and pictures are perfect. There isn't a picture wrong, all are great, considering some are over 100 years old.
Describes in lovingly detail growth and decline of city transport in St. Louis. Has good observations on the economical side of city growth and decline of Downtwon area(s).
The only pitty is that the 2 great system maps are printed on the first and last pages of the book, 1 side on normal paper and 1 side on the hardcover, which makes the first mostly unreadable and the second is too small.
Reproductions of them both in a separate folder would have made everything perfect.
