4.0 out of 5 stars
Burg's second Arcadia book as good as his first., May 30, 2008
This review is from: Sacramento's Streetcars (Images of Rail) (Paperback)
William Burg, Sacramento's Streetcars (Arcadia, 2006)
I've recently become quite enamored of Arcadia's series of Images of [fill in the blank] books of old photographs, and finding out that my old acquaintance William Burg (if you're on livejournal, you know him as noisepimp) had done the text for two of them. Sacramento's Streetcars is the second, and I like it just as much as the first (Sacramento's Southside Park). This one's in the Images of Rail series, and as the informative title reveals, it focuses on the golden age of streetcars in Sacramento.
I gushed over the differences between Burg's books and the other Arcadia titles I've come across in my other review, and it would be silly to repeat myself here; graft everything I said about Burg's writing onto this review and add in a couple of streetcar references, and you have everything I'd say about this one. It's good stuff. Buy it. Doesn't matter if you live in Sacramento or not; this is great armchair-travelling material as well. ****
