The photographs are amazing.

How wonderful that the earlier ones have been saved and are now replicated here so they can be enjoyed by us and indeed by future generations. The photos capture an age and a history gone forever.

Yes, time marches on and the pictures of the present realities are at times depressing. But is it pleasant to have visual memories of one's memories. Those who don't have the earlier memories can learn from this book of times gone by.

The book would be a great present for grandparents and yes, for grandchildren as well. Understand and preserve the past!!

As a Puerto Rican, it was quite a treat to see historical landmarks the way they were and then compared to their present state. I loved the photos and the journey they have inspired! Now I plan weekends to see and compare some of the sites in the books that are not in my hometown. A must for those who love history, architecture and Puerto Rico. This book is also good if you are taking a history of Puerto Rico class as it will make history more real and will help in visualizing the social-political context of the events you'll be studying.

The book came in awesome condition. I really like all the pictures and the information about PR (my Caribbean paradise). Its a good way to see how everything was and how it is now.

Incredible quality.When I saw the used announcement I was expecting something used but the condition was new.And the shipping was accurate and excellent book definitely keeping it in my bookshelf for the pictures.I loved it!

This is a great book. When you are away from home and you get this kind of memories is incredible nice. This book also show me things about Puerto Rico that I ignore. The pictures are beautiful I enjoy a lot. Also it was a great gift for my family members that live out of the island, they all love it. I work in a University at the International Department, I share the book with my co-worker from different part of the world and they all enjoy and I was proud to show.

great book. a lot of big pictures. if you are in architecture you must have this book!
