I was born and raised in and around New Orleans and after Katrina destroyed my hometown, I wanted an album of beautiful photographs to remind me of what once was. I believe New Orleans will rebuild bigger and better, but it will be different. These beautiful photographs capture the New Orleans of my memories. This book is a stunning pictoral of New Orleans beyond what tourists see in the French Quarter and Bourbon St. Along with the photos are a brief history of the city I love. Along with New Orleans in Photographs, I purchased New Orleans by Jan Arrigo/Laura McElroy which I also recommend. They are great coffee table books and you can't beat the price for the value! Laissez le bon temps roulez!

I lived there for many years and love it still. This book brought back many memories and, knowing what is there now, much heartbreak.

My purchase was for guests to sign in at my daughter's wedding. The Groom's Family were a lot of Katrina transplants in addition to a lot of the guests being from New Orleans that are still there. Just thought it would be fun for a coffee table book with everyone's signature and messages instead of the traditional guest book. It worked well and I know they will enjoy having it for years to come.
