5.0 out of 5 stars Great book even for adults!, January 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Springs in the Desert: A Kid's History of Las Vegas (Hardcover)
Being new to Nevada and having lots of house guests of all ages, I have started collecting books that explained the history of Las Vegas for (a) my education and (b) the education of my guests. This book is jam-packed with information on the history of the area, but told in such a way it's easy for adults to remember and youngsters to enjoy. My favorite "history" book by far!
